DWM Luger

From the info you provide, it could be a 9mm commercial common here in the US or it could be a German "sneak". Both were made in Germany and look quite similar. Theinformation provided about the details a sneak has is important and accurate so check out your pistol. The price of $850 is low for a collector grade (all orig parts including all "matched" serialized parts), high for a luger with replaced parts, and a little high for a 9mm commercial from the 1920s. The suffix letter is an important and easy first check.


If you shoot it, put replacement grips on it first. The originals are old, fragile and chipping or cracking one (which is serialized to your gun, by the way) will slam the value by $400. Replacements are available for $30 and easy to put on and take off. Use a modern mag, too, and you can avoid dropping and denting/chipping the original magazine (which is worth $80 or more).


These steps should greatly reduce any risk of serious damage to your luger during the few sessions you shoot it.


Enjoy your luger but make sure the seller did not feed you a line as the price is a bit perplexing.
