Identifying this Luger

lambermk · 07-20-2011, 02:24 PM

Excuse my ignorance, no sir there are none. Is this Luger common or rare. Since it was so hard in finding one on this site. I will continue to look, now that I know what I am looking for. Also I understand it maybe difficult without actually handling the weapon but is there any way you could give us a ballpark on its value?

Hi Matthew, Welcome to the forum! As Jerry has said, you have a very nice military Luger that was modified for Police use after WW1. 1913 DWM's like yours are not common, but it would be more interesting to collectors were it unit marked. Putting a value on a gun like this is a little tricky, I think you could get $1,200.00 for it, and a dealer would probably ask close to $2,000.00. I hope this helps. Regards, Norm

Thanks alot Norm. Would the unit identification be on the grip strap alone or would it be somewhere else?

If you look on the forth image from the top at right above the plate that holds the trigger in place, there is some sort of mark or identification would that be it? Also all of the serial numbers match that is a good thing right?
