Need Ballpark on Police DWM - 2 match mags

Bob in OH · 06-05-2004, 04:37 PM

I located a complete rig that is stunning (to me). Now keep in mind that I have only 2 Lugers in my German collection and they are both military pieces.

This DWM has crown N on the LS, 95% blue, 75% straw. Appears to be all original finish. The right side is WaA66 accepted. The grips are not numbered, nor is the firing pin, nor the toggle pin. The gun has been cut for a floorplate safety and appears unhumped and right. Floorplate, takedown, etc are numbered as a commercial would be.

What's great is the mags match- rosewood ends, #1 and #2 marked above the SN, and correct period tubes which are almost like stainless...(obviously, no blue). The mags also carry "136" which is part of the unit marking.

The holster is 1929 dated, brown, police marked with a "K" inside a sunburst...and the closure strap goes up. Holster is about 75%. It is also unit marked L.E. 136 as is the gun's front grip strap. The tool is present and only mark is the "136".

NOW...assuming all the above is accurate...what would you place the value of the rig. Also, any idea on the unit mark?? "L. E."

Many thanks...Bob
