Help with ID and value of DWM Luger

Dwight Gruber · 11-09-2009, 05:26 PM

What you have described so far is consistent with the Alphabet DWM designation, manufactured in the 1920s. Is there a scriptic lower case letter under the serial number on the frame, and what is it?

Could you be more specific on the amount of wear (rubbed-away blue) on the exterior surface?

Dwight, thanks for the quick reply.

The serial # is 1198 with the cursive letter "O." In front of the trigger guard is stamped, "Germany." There is also the letter "N" with a crown above it stamped on the gun.

The bluing is worn where you would expect on the pistol- On the handle in front where the fingers rest and on the back where the heal of the hand rests.

Does this help?
