1917 dwm rework
I have a 1917 dwm with s/42, w154 and a E/ZA acceptance stamp on the barrel.
There is a picture in still's weimar and early nazi lugers page 219 figure 61.it has brown plastic grips mine doesnt but they do have the last two digits stamped inside.It also shows a s/42 marked rear toggle link mine does not have this. My question is does it have to have the plastic grips and the s/42 toggle link stamp to be correct.Also can anyone tell anything else about this gun how many were made ect. any help would be apreciated ED |

Ed, This is a parts gun? 1917 with a S/42 barrel. I would say the correct grips would be the ones that match the most parts, say the 1917 end of it. If all the parts match except the barrel then I would say you have a 1917 DWM that was rebarreled during the Nazi period. Are there matching numbers everywhere but the barrel? Tell me more...Jerry Burney

The barrel has matching numbers but I was a little doubtful on them because they were a little rough.And because I knew the stamps onthe barrel were not right. yesterday though I went to national gun day show here in ky and got STill's weimar book,and found the one that was close to mine in the book with the exceptions that I mentioned in my first post.
