Help needed with 1915 DMW

DCCUK · 03-22-2007, 11:55 AM

Hello from UK
DWM Luger P Ã¢??08 S/No 1292 Date 1915. Standard P Ã¢??08 Service Pistol with 4 inch barrel, and ALL matching numbers, checkered wooded grips c/w holster - sorry, but due to tech problems can't load photos onto this site.
Currently held by a Section 5 Dealer in the UK as part of my Heritage Pistol Collection of WW1 Service Pistols Section 7.3. n.b. The story goes that this pistol was acquired in WW1 by a wealthy gentleman/army officer
(I now own his Fosbery) and has been in the family since and supposedly has seen very little use since WWII. I've already got a 1917 P '08 and don't want two almost identical 9mm pistols in my Heritage Pistol Collection.
Would anyone in the USA like to put a value on this piece if legally imported to the USA?

Thank you

Is this pistol a UK eunuch or is it still functional??

Still Functional...and beautiful....
BTW - I don't have anything to do with "De-Acts"
As I have already stated:
Currently held by a Section 5 Dealer in the UK as part of my Heritage Pistol Collection of WW1 Service Pistols Section 7.3.
FA Act, 1997, Sect 5: = Prohibited Weapons -
maybe tac will explain - he can type quicker than me...

In the mean time it has been suggested I should keep the 1915 and sell/swop my DMW 1917 as that does not have the holster.
I would like a Swiss 30 cal. as a shooter so it doesn't have to be "minty".

DCCUK,

I see 1915 DWM guns go for around $900-1100 at shows on the East coast.

Thanks Tom A

You guys have all the luck...900-1100 for a 1915 ....
we pay UKP Sterling what you pay in USD$.

So much so, I'm seriously thinking abaout selling up here in the UK and moving across the Pond so other than my Fosbery and maybe one or two other older pieces I think I'll sell 'em all..
