Need help to find a magazine
I have DWM 4772 (with N and crown) and matching magazine stamped FXO 37 just under the "bird" & PO8 on the magazine.
How do I get a replacement magazine: I was reading the matching magazine posts and only got confused. Anybody can help?! |

Country you live in? (pet peeve, when location is not shown).
The magazine matching list is: You put what magazine you have and say what magazine you need. Also, does your DWM have a suffix (LETTER) under the front frame serial number? To get a "period" correct magazine, we need more information. It appears you have a commercial DWM and it depends on a few other things, is it military por police or strictly a commericial? Caliber 9mm? (that does not matter for a magazine). WELCOME to the forum! Ed

Let me add my welcome to the forum, but the FXO magazine that you have is not matched to your pistol no matter what number may be on the bottom. The FXO magazines were not produced until the 1940's and DWM stopped producing Luger pistols in the early 1930's.

Thanks for your warm welcome. I am in Los Angeles, California. DWM does have a letter just below the serial numbers (on the barrel and the fron farme): the letter looks line "n" curvy not a print.
The caliber is 7.65 mm. The FXO magazine does fit inside but one of the "buttons" is broken. Plus I would liek to get an original magazine. Thanks |

Your pistol description leads me to think it is a 1920 commerial. As such it would not have ever had a matching magazine.
