1917 artillery 9mm dwm
 

This is a 1917 dwm artillery in 9mm, with holster, numbers are matching, mag is not, correct period, not matching. over all it is rough, not alot of finish and a bunch of pitting, bore is rough, price is 2350.00 but i havn't started to negotiate. I am thinking this maybe a restoration on the pistol and holster, but that depends on what i have to pay to get into it. I hope i do not bore too many with finds while scouting around.:) but i like to look for shooters and collectables.

I am not sure, but I think that is a modified French holster that was extended to accommodate the LP08.

thanks Ron, i am clueless

How much would it cost to restore that thing? 2300$? then it woudnt be original. are you just wanting it for yourself or are considering selling it down the road?

Ron,

You're right. This is a holster for the French Saint Etiènne Modele 1892 revolver. It is what is called "old model" pattern.

Here is mine, with an old battle horse, a kind of "Luger nemesis" of the WWI trench warfare.

Padre,

I think the price is high for the gun (maybe 500-700 in excess), but as I do not live in US, I'll let the others do the math here.:rolleyes:

All the best,

Douglas

the restoration i will have to run by thor "Ted" alot will depend what i have to pay for it, and weigh the over all cost.

I have to applaud your wanting an Artillery, they are a hoot to shoot and have a charm all their own. This one, however, is way overpriced. I'd not go much over $1000.

Have no clue about the holster, except that it is modified and would be worth more if it were not. If you were patient, I feel that a nicer Arty could be had for notably less. I bought a #s matching 1918 that was nicely refinished with a MecGar mag from Ralph Shattuck right before he died and paid $1600. Soon after I was seeing similar items here for a few hundred less and regretted buying it. However, that was over 2 years ago. YMMV :cheers:

I know it is way over priced, i just needed to go and check it out. I did get to wear the hat.:roflmao:

I made him an offer of 1.100.00 on the pistol and holster, which he declined, and actualy i think i made him a solid offer due to the condition.
