Value of 1916/1920 DWM West Prussian Police Luger?

57Strat · 02-18-2007, 08:46 AM

Hello everyone. I am new to the board.

I own this DWM luger and was wondering if you guys could tell me it's approximate value. All of the numbers match except the magazine. It's 9mm w/ a bright and shiny bore. Serial number 751. Front grip strap markings are: "S. . Wpr. II. 117." (see pics). It appears these are police markings from West Prussia, as I was told on another forum. Please see link below for numerous pictures of the gun.

Thank you in advance.

Anyone?

Brian,

Welcome to the forum. Your is Luger is worth about $1200-$1500, at a rough estimate. The magazine is a Mauser WWII issue. Police Lugers are a hard sell. I know from experience.

Nice pistol, I agree with Ron, and maybe closer to the $1200 mark. Weimar police pistols just do not sell well (i.e. on gunbroker), as I have attempted it several times.

Many of the same folks that post at Jan's, post here, that is probably why you did not get any immediate feedback
