New DWM Luger

Hi,
Nice Luger and seems to be all matching. I don't know what would be the correct selling price for this one but there seems to be some things that makes this gun different from standard Imperial Luger.

First it may have been reworked after the 1WW because there is a GERMANY marking stamped on iyt. This was put to guns intended for commercial sales abroad. It was propably a private purchase.

First it looks that it has been refinished. The trigger, takedown lever and safety lever should be strawed not blued. It looks very much like dip blued since the surface is matt. The finish is very similar than in Finnish Lugers refinished by the Army Arsenal. Not all were SA-stamped. Interesting Luger with history, hopefully the experts in this Forum can tell you more,

Br,
Juhani
