Help with ID Commercial?

JDGuns · 08-31-2023, 10:00 PM

So confused right now with this one.
Need help / advice.

This is clearly a ReBlue.
No markings on the Magazine.
1996m serial #
Very few markings otherwise.

Thanks for your help. https://forum.lugerforum.com/attachm...29833693529833

Looks like a 1914 military with the date ground off to me. Photo of the right side markings of the receiver isn't very clear.

Ron your right the Pics are not very good. I going to work on better technique.
Serial numbers are all present clear and matching.

Was it common to remove markings such as chamber dates?
this one looks like the date chamber marking was possibly removed.

From what I have found online I believe this one was possibly a P08 Military that was reworked / converted Commercial.

SN#1996m makes it an Alphabet Commercial around 1923
"DWM" stamped on Toggle
Stock Lug -yes
"Gesichert" stamped under the Safety
3.75" 9mm Barrel
Proof marks - German Military Eagle on Breech block
4 stamps on the Right side are very hard to make out

Any idea of value?
Thanks
