After cleaning, it looks better than I originally thought. Very nice. Pure elegance.
DWM supplied 5,000 Lugers to Brazil between 1907 and 1911. They had their own serial number range of 1 ~ 5,000.
I have it's twin... a Portuguese Luger. Although a model 1906, they designated it the model 909 as it was contracted in 1909 with delivery in 1910. It has the intertwined "M2" over the chamber for King Manuel the Second. The order was for 5,000 pistols and they have their own serial number range of 1 ~ 5,000. I had another but gave it to my son.
