DWM Identification & value

Dwight Gruber · 11-20-2014, 11:31 PM

I looked at the pictures you posted on Jan Still's forum.

The pistol's serial number is 7056p.

The frame is that of a P08 alphabet commercial made about 1926.

The receiver and toggle assembly appear to be Imperial navy parts probably from 196-1917. All markings--chamber date and proofs--have been removed. The absence of German commercial proofs and any GERMANY export marking suggest that the barrel was replaced long after the gun left Germany.

The magazine has been re-stamped to no known official standard.

The asking price for the pistol as presented is $1,300 too much.
