Question on double date DWM

Don M · 03-15-2011, 10:07 PM

John, from the photos it appears that this is an Erfurt, has a sear safety and a disabled mag safety. If the toggle is stamped DWM as you indicate in the thread title, at least the toggle has been replaced. I think others on the forum would be interested in your photos, including one of the top of the gun as well as the bottom of the barrel. You will probably need to reduce the size of the photos to post them.

The holster also sounds interesting. Is the closure police style (vertical up-strap with stud)? If you can provide photos of this, including the markings under the flap, it would be great.

it looks like the buckle type closure strap was changed to strap going into slotted opening, like the artillery holster type.
I was thinking the GN on holster was 'gelnhausen' near manheim (I think). I don't have macro camera, so can't get to close. the finish for the middle toggle is exactly equal to the front and rear toggle. don't appear changed ????? I'll have to try and take more pics of top and holster. Holster v.good condition although well used. looks like someone in the past dyed it black (as I know germans did during WW1) with a very nice finish, like patten leather. the 2 mags are also matching.
