1918 DWM Looks nice

Mike B · 03-11-2010, 08:14 AM

I have always been a fan of commercial Lugers and I have a decent representation of them. But in the last few years I have become interested in the early DWM military Lugers. I am trying to put together a collection of DWM Military Lugers by years. So far I have all but 1912, 1913 and 1918. I am presently in the process of acquiring a 1918. I requested photos to assist in my decision. I was so impressed with this persons' photo ability, I thought I would share them with the forum members. Here are some of those photos.

Mike,
It looks very nice. Let me know when you get it. I'd like to see it first hand.
I promise, I won't shot it.

Weird marking on the base of the magazine?

Maybe a + and a suffix all rolled into one Mike?

Well, maybe, but I would appreciate if someone would check Mr. Costanzo's World of Lugers to see if such a proof exist. Looks like a prop to me.

Mike, I believe that the magazine is probably a Weimar period mag.

Mike, I looked through Costanzo and can't find anything like it; the X like thing and the S underneath; I think are 2 different markings.
