I wanted a luger for some time now and went to the Lakeland FL show today and bought a 1916 dwm "miixmaster" for 650. It was at 750, and I figured to get ripped off for 650 is better than 750 or the 1250 one I was considering.
I know, dumb move without any knowledge of lugers, but I wanted to get started.....
So, how do I tell how bad the pistol is.
I have quite a bit of familiarity with WWII USGI weapons, and a bit with the P38 cyq....
Any suggestions on how to start to evaluate the gun?
It is stamped 1916 on top, with the DWM logo, and 9911 S/N most parts have an 11 on them, the mag is wooden with 9911 scribed in by hand....the top toggle is maked 71 ...
Any help appreciated,
Andy
