hi guys, i can't believe the price for this ari. 525 $, thats great. buy it. on the right grip could have been two different markings: 1. EWB (Einwohner Wehr Bayern) it means the citizen-force of bavaria, and the 2. the red 9, it was made in some lugers because some gun-smithes in ww 1 misunderstood an order: there were 7,65 mm and 9 mm mauser c 96 in ww 1. it happened often, that soldiers shot 9 mm-ammo in an 7,65 mauser. that was dangerous, of course. so they gave an order, to brand one grip with a big 9 and paint it red. some gun-smithes read on lugers DWM (Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken) but they thougt DWM means Deutsche Waffenfabriken Mauser, thats of course not so.so they branded also some luger-grips. they are very rare.
