New Double Date of interest.

Here is a photo of a 1917 DWM Double date that I picked up at a local auction on Sunday.

The gun is in very good condition with all of the original Imperial proofs etc. All matching numbers including the mag and the grips.

I believe, and I stand to be corrected that it may have started its days as a 1917 DWM P08 Long as the receiver is milled for the rear sight.
The barrel seems to have been replaced and correctly numbered with the lands dia stamp 8.82
a eagle 83 acceptance stamp and interesting, S 42 stamped on the barrel and another little eagle
and swastika.

You can just see the S42 in the above photo.

Note the Nazi depot number alongside the imperial proofs.

The gun came in a really nice holster marked bml/42 with an inspectors stamp WaA788 complete with spare mag and stamped tool 855.

Regards,
