Gunbroker: EXCEPTIONAL DWM 1908 9MM LUGER W/EXTRA MAGAZINE, HOLSTER & TOOLS FULL RIG

LU1900,

I believe you are referring to what appears to be a less well polished body before plating. The magazine with my 1908 commercial appears also to be less well polished than some earlier magazines we see. But, that is not to say that my magazine is without a doubt original to my gun. I like to think that it is, but there is no guarantee.

But, why would you suggest Erfurt? Why not Swiss 06/24 Bern? Their lack of polishing is more pronounced.

As far as original appearing, the nitre blued pins and surrounding areas show no signs of the pins having been removed in the photos, but I would not try to judge from pictures.

So, I maintain there is nothing to suggest this not a righteous rig until something more definitive presents itself.

Jack
