I'll add to the DWM newb posts...
All matching, DWM and dated 1915 with no import stamp. The mag doesn't have a single mark on it (normal? repo?) The grips are a little loose and minor pitting (I'm reading the washer trick right now). I thought I got it for a pretty reasonable price until taxes were added up and I was charged 4% for using my CC because my bank won't allow me to use my debit card for over $500 Anything you all see that I don't? Was it made for commercial use? |

The photos are way too small to give a proper description, but they do show that the pistol is a German military version (P.08) and that it has been reblued somewhere during it's life. The small parts like trigger, takedown lever, safety lever and magazine catch should be strawed originally.

EDIT: Here are better pictures. I am still not certain what all is looked at , but I tried to photograph what I saw. Unfortunately the pitting really shows up well! No markings Last edited by gicts; 04-11-2010 at 01:06 PM. |

Ryan,
Your photos are nice and clear but they are coming up as thumbnails, too small to observe any detail. They need to be at least 640X480 to be able to evaluate the gun.

You have a (reblued) military 1915 DWM with Erfurt proof stamp on the breech block. That is normal; all DWM Lugers from 1915 on have that (and all DWM Lugers from 1916 have the Erfurt proof on the barrels, too).
