Luger Identification Help—1925 9" Barrel

sheepherder · 06-22-2013, 09:07 AM

Very nice! A long-barreled DWM Luger, in 30 cal, with the 'artillery' barrel sight. It also has the toggle rear sight, which detracts from the overall effect somewhat.

I would love to shoot it. Might take a while to work up an accurate load.

Value is relative; appearance is everything in a mismatched shooter. It it was offered locally, with no FFL fees, no sales tax, no S&H, I could see it going for ~$1,000...Maybe a couple hundred more...

The real selling point [to me] is the artillery barrel w/rear sight. Rare to find a long barrel with the arty sight and the barrel base for it (other than an 8" artillery barrel). I am wondering if it is an original artillery sight or a repro...

Does the pistol appear to be buffed/re-blued???
