Double proofs on barrel 1918/1920

barr44 · 01-26-2010, 11:13 AM

I have just acquired a 1918/1920 chamber marked DWM luger. The gun is in good condition with all matching numbers except for the mag. For some reason there are two (Weimer?)proofs on the barrel. Would anyone know why there would be two proofs? Would this be an indication that the gun was reworked by the Erfurt factory? There are no grip strap markings and the gun was not fitted with a sear safety, so I believe it would have been for military use.
As always will appreciate all input from the forum.
Thanks, barr.
