My DWM 1915 Luger

Welcome to the forum.

the old adage is buy books then guns, few of us do that. At $800, it is unlikely you got burned too bad, if at all.

I can't see a date, but since you say it is a 1915, then I assume that it is dated over the chamber. Some close ups of the serial on the left, front and date would be good. The markings on the right are a bit light, but I can't tell if it has been reblued at some point?

Is it all matching and do the numbers look about the same, i.e. firing pin, inside of grips, hold-open, etc?

The tool looks possibly wrong to me, but we'd need to see close ups of it, along with full shots both sides.

I think that for $800 you did fine, the holster is not pristine, but easily worth a $100 and the tool if blank another $35-$45, double that if marked with a nice marking. If a repro it is worth about $10
