Reinhard,
Thank you for the photo. I could see it quite clearly when I enlarged the second photo in your initial post. It is as I stated, a DWM acceptance mark usually found on military pieces.

thanks Ron ,the serial on the extractor is different ,so I will make it a shooter instead of a collectors gun,thanks again

Mighty expensive shooter! Other than the mismatched extractor and the non-original front sight (which is found quite frequently on these early guns), your gun is in excellent condition. The 9mm 1906 production is relatively small making these guns a prize for Luger collectors. Even in its less than original condition I would guess its value is in the neighborhood of $2500 plus or minus.

Yes, can get you a shooter for $700 and trade you with a couple of hudnred bucks thrown in...

you can find a 600€ WW2 shooter here,making it a shooter was more of a joke ,I gave it back, I am just not that happy with "I got an A.E 1906 commercial but the extractor is not original"
take care Ed

The breechblock is an Imperial proof mark, applied to military guns upon passing the power-proof test. Its presence suggests the breechblock may not be original to this gun.

Reinhard,
I understand your reason for returning the gun and I am glad the seller was willing to take it back. But, now you need to find another one!
