First Luger

DWM .30 · 03-21-2009, 09:39 PM

Hello all, I recently purchased my first luger.

It is a DWM, chambered in .30 cal, in excellent condition. All 4 Numbers on frame/slide dont match, but the last 2 digits do match (71). The luger is in excellent condition, with most of the blueing that looks original and no rust. There is no date marked above the chamber. I did see the crown and N proof marks.

I think this is a so called "commercial" luger, made for the US/German civilian market, is that correct?

What is the approximate value?

What would be the approximate date that this luger was made?

I am planning on picking up a few luger books, " Standard catalog of the luger" looked like a good one to pick up. Any others?
Thanks in advance!
