Found Luger - Need Help With Identification

SteveM · 11-26-2012, 08:37 AM

1918 DWM manufactured, many thousands were made. The 2 matching mags are a plus as you just don't see WW1 Lugers very often with the matching magazines. Unfortunately the left grip has the chip up near the safety lever but that is not a show stopper.

The next to last pic of the Luger shows the toggle to be to the rear somewhat which tells me that it has not been reassembled correctly. The hook on the underside of the toggle was not engaged properly with the mainspring. You can find disassembly/assembly procedures on youtube.
