1916 DWM Luger Markings

Michael · 08-12-2001, 10:36 AM

Thanks for the information on why the one mark is stamped on the gun. There were a lot of other markings on the barrel but I didn't look at them that close upon my first inspection of the piece. I just assumed they were German proof marks.

Does this marking mean the gun was sold by a British dealer sometime after the war? Do you think it was reworked by the British or just stamped for resale? And does it affect the value or the collectability of the gun?

I guess I am wondering if I should pass this one up or not.

Thanks again for your help.
