Need help to identify
 
5 Attachment(s)
Hello I'm new to the Luger and could use some help identifying a certain Luger that has come into my collection of firearms. I did some research and concluded that its a WW1 Imperial German Luger. I was wondering if anyone can help me to identify weather this firearms is in-fact imperial German or what the markings mean. I would greatly appreciate any help on identifying the origins of this firearm. I have attaches pictures of markings.

Hi Joshua,
Welcome to the forum! You have a 1915 dated DWM P08, the standard German side arm during the 1st World War (and much of the 2nd). It appears to be in excellent original condition.

Welcome to the forum.

It is, indeed, an Imperial German Luger made for the military in 1915 by DWM (Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken). That translates to "German Arms and Munitions Manufacturer".

The quality of DWM Lugers in 1915 was top notch and you have a fine example of a WW1 Luger.

Does it have any markings on the front or rear grip strap? Some Lugers in 1915 were unit marked.

Welcome to our Luger forum from Italy.
FWICS you've got a nice DWM, and most of all the finish looks original.
