Hi,

I am new to forum.

I have a DWM (?) 1916 Luger I recently purchased from a WWII vet and he is writing a history of how he acquired it for me. According to his daughter it was taken off of a dead German.

It has no holster or takedown tool.

I have purchased a 1916 Army holster that is in the mail.

I would like to find a takedown tool that is appropiate for this model.

I know there are a lot of repros out there and a fair number of "original" ones.

I have heard some are serialized to the gun and others have manufactures marks. Can someone fill me in on what I should be looking for in the way of markings on the correct 1916 tool or point me to a book that would explain it all ?

Thanks !!
