One small correction. I assume that your identification of the pistol as a 29DWM means it has an "s", "t" or "u" suffix. If so, it left the factory as a 9-mm pistol and was not rebarreled.

yes serial number is 2331 "t", i was told on the comercial thread it was rebarreled from 7.65 to 9mm. all i know is what i am told on this forum, i have owned several lugers before these but have never asked for help on those. Hi Dan,
Thanks for posting your extremely nice Luger.
Your Luger, S#2331t, is classified as a 29DWM in Jan Still's 'Weimar Lugers'. It was made in 1929. As Jerry stated before, this Luger started out as a commercial. It originally had a 30 cal. barrel. and no sear safety. The 9mm barrel and sear safety were added at an arsenal. Most 29DWM's were procured by the Army or Police. Only a few were sold commercially.
