DWM 1918 M. Felzien

It is not a museum quality luger. The British proofs are probably from being captured during the war. The British proofed all or most of these. The mag has been boosted ie numbers changed to match the luger. Still a nice old luger and if all numbers match I for one would not shoot it. These old parts do break and then the value goes way down. Your gun your decision. Some one else will have to respond to the case. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the Forum.

Thanks Bill,

I agree on the magazine. It looks like a "6" has been changed to a "0", but the dealer assured me it was original matching. I will be careful with it but I think I will be in the market soon for a mixed-match, and using that would make me feel a bit safer. (I suppose it's hard to just buy one . Thanks.
