Just bought a 1921 dated DWM Luger in .45 ACP, from a walk in at a local gun show. He told me he thought it was a salesman's sample from the Stoeger days. It is a beautiful high gloss blue with a six inch barrel. It has no grip safety. It has the same trigger guard and trigger profile as the US Army trials Lugers. It has a chamber date of 1921, DWM on the toggle link, 45 on the underside of the takedown lug, 45 on the inside of the frame in front of the takedown lever and 11.35mm underneath the chamber on the inside. There are absolutely no other markings or proofs, ANYWHERE on any of the parts. The frame is NOT widened as is seen on some Martz Lugers. The gun is in a custom leather covered display case with a wood bottomed magazine and vintage cleaning tools as seen with some early Lugers. There is no indication whatever who may have made this gun. The finish is about mint, but the gun is obviously not newly made. Any help would be VERY welcome as to the identity of the maker. Thanks.
