I agree. An exceptionally nice looking Imperial Luger. A nice addition to ay collection.

The DWM eagle on your receiver and breech block are test firing proofs. There should also be a similar eagle on your barrel. TH

So that's specific to DWM then, correct?

There is a serial number inside the DWM sideplates . Generally the first 2 digits of the serial number. Or may be just one digit. All my WW1 DWM"S have this. May be difficult to find. Bill

Hard to see, and harder still to photograph.

That is an eagle, not a squirrel. It is the Imperial eagle firing proof, in the style used under Spandau(Berlin) oversight at DWM.

Unfortunately that is not the original side plate, has the correct "17" on the outside, but the "40" on the inside is indication it came from another pistol originally.

That side plate wasn't mine from my original post. This one is though and I did find the 17!
