1918 Military Request for Info

Motown · 03-28-2013, 04:18 PM

Hello! Back after a LONG hiatus... just had a friend show me a Luger that his grandfather brought back from WWII - it's a 1918 DWM military, no 'double date' - the only mark that doesn't match a 'standard' 1918 WW I Army weapon is a small waffenampt on the barrel, no numerals or defining marks w/the eagle and swastika...looking for any info to pass to him about the gun...serial # is low one, '724' w/no scriptic letter, so I assume it's a low serial # for 1918 (assuming the numbering was the same on the old DWMs as was on the later Mausers)

Appreciate any input or info!
