I, again, don't know if this Luger a military or a commercial pistol is. Anyway, she has the most perfect bore I have ever seen in a Luger barrel. Her owner told me that the skin of the pistol was a miserable condition, despite the perfect barrel, and he had to refurbish (re-blue) it in order to protect this Luger.

Unfortunately I have forgotten to take photos of this Luger before I disassembled her. Indeed I have photos of her together with some other Lugers and pistols of different brands and types.

Please do not forget to add your comments about this Luger. I am a beginner in Luger Hobby and still collecting books from Jan Still, Joachim Görtz, John Walter, Jan R. Hallock-Joop van de Kant, Mauro Baudino and other publications I can find. Unfortunately I have less time due to my business to read all these. Nevertheless I am working on it. I hope to be a good Lugerist in Turkey, literally and practically.

Here are the photos:

Here I begin with the slide (receiver)

Date 1917 is visible on the chamber

One can see the DWM stamp on the toggle

The grips are made of wood and mother of pearl (I often see such grips in Turkey, it is not my taste)

I tried it without flash, not very successful, eh!

Toggle see the last two digits of the serial number and the DWM stamp

I will post the remaining photos very soon.
