This is the 1910 DWM from Double T that several forum members were interested in. Sorry for the poorly-focused photo. Double T's description was conservative, this is an especially pristine Luger with lots of original blue and straw. There are some flaws: a previous owner replaced the grips with cheap repros and crappy grip screws, also someone scratched up the gun here and there with a jackknife or other sharp object and polished the safety lever with a brillo pad. The only disappointment was a moderately pitted bore, not initially obvious, hidden under a petrified layer of residue (although rifling is crisp). I could have returned the gun for this reason but it is just too nice a Luger to let go of. Double T is a gentleman and was a pleasure to do business with, I would gladly deal with him again.
There are some features of this gun that seem unusual to me (this is my first pre-war P08) and I would appreciate feedback from knowledgeable forum members:
â?¢ The knurled grips on the toggle are strawed, is that normal?
â?¢ There is no serial number on the left side of the receiver, just the last 2 digits underneath, on the receiver travel stop
â?¢ There is no rifling land diameter stamped on the underside of the barrel
â?¢ The extractor number is stamped under the extractor (not visible unless removed)
â?¢ Side plate is numbered on the bottom edge (adjacent to the trigger)
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge. KFS
