Welcome Zebulon!

You are at the right site, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> If you can provide some more information, then we can help you ID your DWM, I say this, because they made the Luger from the early 1900's through WW2 and then there were others made even alter than that.

Can you tell us any markings on the gun?

Proofs? (see on your left under tech information if you came through www.lugerforum.com) Tell us what and where proofs and markings are located.

There are forms in this section, where you can print out and then write down pertinent information.

What serial number is on the gun? To include any letters next to or under the serial number?

What year or letters are stamped on the top of the receiver?

What initials or letters are on the toggle?

Can you provide pictures, to include side, top, etc?

Ed
