Bo25 1914 barrel DWM

SBT · 03-22-2006, 02:48 AM

Hello,
Does anyone know of any books I could buy with information on Bohler experimental barrels? I just picked up an excellent condition 1914 DWM with the marking Bo25 and its serial # being 14xx.
I would like to know more history if there is any to be had.
Thanks,Steve

Steve,

There is little in the printed literature beyond the fact of their existence and what Lugers they might be found on (Imperial Lugers, Jan C. Still). Sign up on Jan Still's Luger Forum http://luger.gunboards.com/ and do a search on the subject, you will find some informed discussion.

Steve, what Dwight said is good advice. I can say, the bohler barrels (correct ones) were put on during a set time period during WW1 and were not experiemental, but were subcontracted barrels and are correct for that time period.
