Another Shooter Luger Adventure

[Kyrie]

Another adventure; more surprises and more fun than last adventure.

Seller described the gun as: “Beautiful numbers matching 1916 DWM Luger 9mm pistol with one magazine (not matching) and 1941 dated black Luger holster. As you can see from the pictures, this pistol is in fantastic condition and the pistol has been re-blued and the bluing is beautiful.”

Seller also provided fourteen photos, the last seven of which were of the magazine and holster. But the first seven pictures were sufficient to see the gun was a re-blue and all visibly numbered parts were matching. Also visible in the photos, but not mentioned in the seller’s description were a (tiny) sear safety and some non-standard (but indistinguishable) markings.

At $900 and $35 shipping, I viewed it as a good deal and took delivery yesterday. This is a beautiful gun.

It is a 1916 DWM military. Matching except for magazine and hold open (haven’t checked grip panels). Bore is excellent.

At some point in time it was re-proofed. Final/definitive proof marked on barrel, barrel extension, breech block, and frame. Proof is not German military or German commercial.

At some point in time after re-proof, the pistol was beautifully re-finished (salt blue); trigger, safety, and ejector polished and left in white.

Sear relieved at some point.

Interesting, no?
