1920 DWM Commercial Luger Rig Opinions
 

Hello,
wanted your opinions on this rig
thank you in advance
:cheers:

here's a few more pics

here's some of the holster, etc

I like it, looks like it has not been messed with. Doe the holster have a makers name or mark?

I was told no markings.This is 99% DWM 1920 Commercial in outstanding condition. It was new-manufacture, post WWI and Not a military re-work. Serial number 731-o. Germany marked. 99% overall condition with bright strawed parts, no significant blemishes anywhere. Grips in as-new condition. Excellent commercial magazine marked Germany on base. 2nd Magazine is also excellent but no markings. Also commercial holster with takedown tool and punch tool.

Nice gun. I have one identical to that one, exect not marked Germany, all matching, ser. 311 o. Great shooter, as I use it often. I believe it is late 1924-1925 manufacture.

is it common for the spare mag not to be marked? or the holster?

Commercial mags were rarely marked, other than the occasional "Germany", on the ones destined for the US market. Commercial holsters usually had a maker's mark, but as can be seen, not always, especially if they were producing for a larger house.

A really nice piece. How much is the asking price?

the grips seem like they may be more modern reproductions

The grip panels look good to me. Same as mine.

$1600

The BB value of Excellent DWM of this variation is 1600. Not including the accessories. On book value, it's a byf 41/42 level Luger.

Nicely done. Thanks. :cheers:

What year was this pricing?

Nice like most of the "commercials", and probably a good shooter too!

2009. I bought a copy from Borders before they closed the door in 2010 or 2011. No need to buy another copy in 10-15 years. The book is a system, the real value of book is not absolute price listed, it reflects value relationship among guns. The system does not change frequently. When we say a gun being rare or common, the book gives very good measure. It reflects the value of same variation at different condition level. Of course, it also gives long term demand some consideration based on history.

Just for my knowledge, is the pin that holds the connecting pin between the front and rear toggle in supposed to be blued? I thought they were left in the white. What year was this changed? Thanks for the help.

G57

On my instance, the pin head is white.

One possibility -- the more previous owner looked at this white dot on the blue gun, the more he disliked it, so a little bit touch up. Private gun owners doing that frequently in gun's tool stage.

I'll see if I could post a better picture once I received the rig :evilgrin:

What is the number on the takedown lever it doesnt look like a 3?
