Default 1913 DWM Commericial - Dwight Gruber listing info

Thank you for the welcome Ed. Attached are some pics.

Dwight here is info for you list.

1913 DWM Commercial - I believe it's one of the 71000's mentioned in your report. (see below). Dwight do you know
how many a "very small" number produced might be?

9mm
Serial- 71172
No Germany or export markings
Crown N proofs

"At the beginning of the war, very approximately around sn 71000, serial number reporting shows that commercial production was drastically curtailed. At this time, however, a very small number of a unique commercial variation appears. Designated â??1913 Commercialâ? by Kenyon, these are standard 1914 commercial construction (with stock lug), but also having a grip safety. The thumb safety operates in the standard 1908/1914 mannerâ??on â??safeâ? downâ??and is stamped GESICHERT. "

Thank you!
