DWM AE Accessories

Joe Y, this is a complicated question to answer. 1906 was a year that DWM shipped contract lugers all over the world. Apparently the two most common contracts were the simple 1906 commercial, with a blank chamber (both in 7.65mm and 9mm) and the 1906 American Eagle, also with 4 3/4 inch barrel (7.65mm) and 4 inch barrel (9mm). European commercial 1906's were (I am told)sold without the holster and the customer had to buy this item separately. An example of such a holster is found pictured in the Forum Member's Gallery (4th gallery). This commercial holster is for the 4 3/4 inch barel and comes with unmarked tool which was a little thicker steel than later tools, pin punch (strawed) and a cleaning rod. American Eagle 1906's could have had a similar holster, but many other variations exist, manufactured by local US companies. It is hard to find these holsters but they occasionally appear on e-bay. I wish you good luck finding accessories for your 1906 AE.
