Commercial DWM Date and Value?

lugerholsterrepair · 07-23-2011, 09:58 AM

Richard, 1920's Alphabet Luger. There are some who have access to actual dates these were made from the suffix, perhaps they will come along and answer your question specifically.

Your pistol is just what you believe it to be except for the chambering. it is undoubtably in .30 Luger as most commercial Lugers were. Condition of the finish is somewhat drab...It is in a shooter catagory so I would value it at $450-600 depending on all matching numbers and does it actually shoot properly.

Thank you for the info.
It is indeed a 30 caliber, I mistyped it in my first thread.
And unfortunately, it is in not great shape.
It looks to be, however, a numbers-matching gun, as it is stamped 44 (Last two digits of the serial #) on many visible parts on the gun.

Again, Thank you for your great info!

It's not 6.35mm/25ACP???

Shoot!!!

I was hoping it was the rare & elusive 25ACP Luger with the staggered row hi-cap magazine...
