DWM 1906 Dutch spotted

I was travelling through western Pa yesterday and had opportunity to stop at a rather large gun shop. They had a beautiful 1906 DWM Dutch, M11, for sale with holster and double mag pouch. Total of two magazines, which I believe are Dutch, a Dutch pin punch, takedown/loading tool and an M11 type cleaning rod.

As I post this, bear in mind I am using Martens and de Vries as a reference 'cause I don't know squat about Dutch Lugers. The mag pouch is what the above authors call an M11 pictured on 213 in "The Dutch Luger" and the holster is as pictured on page 216 of the same book.

The serial number was 12584 and seemed to match throughout. The brass property plate was marked M.L.Kdj. over 40. The tool was marked ES over 637 and the holster was marked CW over N over 12 23 over AB. There was a similar marking on the mag pouch but I couldn't make it out in the poor light.

The pistol was in pristine condition so I assume it was professionally restored. Top notch job! The pistol was listed at $2950 and the clerk said the owner of the shop might deal.

Should anyone be interested, let me know and I will email store name an phone number.
