Another newbie with a DWM Luger
I picked up this Luger for $450 from a family friend. I wasn’t looking for a Luger but always liked them I just thought they were to expensive but when I heard what he wanted for the gun I jumped on it. It’s a 1920 DWM all matching except the firing pin is a newer style, the guy I got it from pointed this out and the font on the 44 is different than the rest of the gun. It has both matching magazines and matching holster. I’ve learned a lot about this guns lately but any insight is appreciated

Looks like you got a real nice gun at a real nice price! Congratulations. I'd have to guess its worth easily 3 times what you paid for it. Any markings on the holster? Welcome to the club!

Here are some more pictures. I need to retake pictures of the markings on the gun they all turned out blurry. I’ll post new ones later.
