1920 DWM 9mm History and Value

Dan, welcome to the forum.

You have a 1920 (year made) DWM (manufacture) that went into the Berlin police at some point (Don or someone with Don's book {I am at work} can tell you exact info on the marking on the gripstrap.

Nickle or more commonly chrome was never a german military or police, this was done later, perhaps right after the war.

Value is high to you as sentimental, value to me as a buyer if you were at my table, around $400, they sell for around $500-$600 depending on who is looking for a GI trophy that has been gussied up.
