DWM Luger

Welcome aboard!

You bought a commertial Luger which may have been made in the 1920s. Does the serial number have a letter sufix? The "Germany" stamp was applied when it was imported into the
US. $1,400 is on the high side for a pistol of this type, unless it has an unusual history, features or markings.

With what you have in the Garand, plus the money back you did quite well. I would not spend any time or money restoring this pistol. A reblue is a reblue forever and if the original finish is mostly there, I would leave it alone.

We look forward to seeing photos of your new Luger!
