7.65 DWM pocket automatic
 

No, it's not a luger, but maybe you guys can help me out. I'm looking for any information I can find about the browning 1910 copy that DWM made in the 1920's. They have NO markings other than the dwm script and the crown over N proofs on the slide, frame, and barrel. I have looked and looked all over the web and can dind nothing other than a passing mention of it. It is NOT an Ortgies clone. It is a browning 1910 just made by DWM. Thanks!

Brian,

Several of these DWM guns were discussed over on Jan Still's Gun Board as well in the past.

Here is a link to one with lots of good info. and photos...info. on some recent pricing as well... :

Thanks alot ED and Pete!!!!!! You guys have just given me more information on my pistol than I have been able to dig up in YEARS! Apparently mine is a model 22 as it has the wooden grips. It is in about 95% condition and has the original shoulder holster in same condition. the holster is marked D.R.G.M. and Akah. It's a nice little shooter but it seems I won't be shooting it as much as I used to.....which only amounted to about 80 rounds in 5 years anyhow. I'll have some pictures up tonight in my gallery over at the gk43forum.

Please post your photos here too! :)

I've tried to post here before but it told me the files were too large. I'm a freakin' technoidiot!! I'm so techno phobic, I bought a mechanical watch for no other reason than so I simply wouldn't have to worry about changing the battery! I will try again.


Still looking for that Jager b.t.w.

If this link works, you should be able too see the pictures of my clunker.

B.T.W. I'm STILL looking for a Jager automatic......

Congratulations! - Very nice pistol with an original AKAH shoulder holster. I reckon these FN-DWM pistols are going to appreciate in value quite quickly as more collectors learn about them. I am planning to buy one with the blackite grips having the DWM lettering on the grips.

Small poll - which version would collectors prefer - wood grips or blackite grips?

Albert

I like wood grips.....but I might be biased!

normally wood grips Albert, but sometimes the bakelite just makes the gun :)

Especially true on a p38. Those red bakalite grips are just plain neat!

The wood grips on this model are of exceptional quality, being made with the fine checkering usually found only on DWM Luger grips. For this reason I prefer the wood grips, but I would love to own both types.

C'mon guys! Someone here has to have a clunky old Jager that they want to trade for this clunky old DWM. Ron, I know you follow Jagers and you want a DWM. Make something happen buddy! Whoever gets this thing will definitely be making out on the deal!

Jan Still did this study on the Jager pistols :

You might want to email some of those owners to see if they want to trade/sell...???

I put out feelers over there. Thanks for the info Pete! I've got this thing plastered all over the place. You know what they say....persistence pays off. I know Ron Wood was looking for one of these DWM jobs and I'm glad to set him up.....for a Jager. He has had quite a bit of input about Jagers on the other forum so I know he has some contacts! From what I've been able to find out, Jagers aren't all that valuable....just rare. So Ron, come out come out wherever you are! :-p
