Newby in the right Place?

[tom21]

Hi, I am new to the forum. WOW a lot of info and history on this site. I like to find unusual guns (not much value sometimes but they have unique properties)

Let me start off here.
I acquired what looks like a DWM 1913 .45 conversion.
SN 2260 - not all numbers match - It looks like someone has tried to remove the markings on the right side of the receiver

It has an 8.5 inch barrel. The rear sight ring covers where the numbers should be on the barrel opposite the frame number.

Adjustable sights mounted on the barrel by means of a one piece ring set up. It almost looks like they removed the front blade and slid the sights up as far as they could and sweated them in place. Instead of meters it says Micro on the top of the sights

The grips are smooth wood with the magazine butt matching.

I tried putting two rounds in the mag and cycled the action. It fed the .45 and ejected it without a problem.

I am having a hard time finding any info about this gun except (A) it doesn't exist or (B) it was cobbled together using Luger parts. I vote for (B)

I have not torn it down yet. I did take the grips off and it looks like they cut/ground some of the front magazine well away to accommodate the .45 magazine. As I have been studying some of the topics on this site I do see they made their own magazine release spring or modified the original.

Any help would be appreciated on parts and things to watch for on these conversions.

Sorry if I loaded this topic in the wrong place. I wasn’t sure if I should put it up on this site. Ya’ll have some awesome purebred Lugers on this site and this one is a mongrel pup at best.

I uploaded some pictures in case anybody has any ideas. Constructive that is. lol
Thanks
Tom
