1912 Dwm

Edward Tinker · 11-21-2006, 09:24 PM

Several years ago I showed this 1912, and have a few questions. I am thinking of selling it (somehow, I have ended up with three 1912 DWM's)... It is in fairly nice shape, and is a fairly early one (sn 1064). One problem with it is that it was relined into a 7.65mm from its original 9mm. How hard is it to "rebore" it to 9mm, and is it worth it?

There were only an estimated 10,000 made, the smallest number of dated DWM's made in WW1. That very fact makes me want to keep it, but like I said, I recently picked up another 1912 and have a 1912/1920 weimar police.

The smaller bore size I would presume knocks it into a "shooter" category, and if so, I would not beleive that it should be just a "shooter" price as it is "rarer"? Opinions?
