An early and very nice condition DWM P 08 from 1908-9; before they were marked with a year date. Serial 7268, matching except grips and magazine.
A real survivor; must have been "stolen" early in its life.
Now the earliest military luger in my collection; sure wish this one could tell its story.
Did not receive the hold open modification, and no unit markings.
Shows the beautiful fit and finish , inside and out, of those un-hurried years before WWI.
Note the "gamma" final inspection in the frame well, similar to commercial pistols of the same era.
