Welcome to the Forum.
Thanks for sharing your luger.


It looks like a fairly nice 1915 DWM in good condition with all matching parts.
Matching parts are more important than the finish.
It was made during WW-I when the factories had rapped up production (105,000 that year).

There is a green stain that looks like copper on the right grip - hope it comes off.

Overall, the finish is about what I would expect for a 118 year old pistol.
I'd guess it's around 70% remaining
The smaller parts (trigger, safety lever, take down) have lost most of their original straw color.


Non-matching magazines are pretty common.
It should be a wood bottom with a folded metal body.
It looks like something else was stamped on the base at one time.

It's probably worth $1,200.
