Can anyone tell me about my 1918 DWM Luger?

Jeff...get a chance to shoot her in a couple weeks.

Make sure you look over the internals before shooting. Lugers can look bad on the outside but be fine inside. I alway shoot the first round into the ground held down and away from my head and upper body. You may not be able to perform this at a public range.

Good advice above...Depending on what you paid it could work as a shooter. Don't put another nickle into it though. Save your money for the holster you want or another mag. Or another Luger!
It has been reblued at least once already.

As Doug has pointed out..the Nazi Eagle is spurious. No German would put a stamp in this place. The toggle bottoms out there and marks/indents this area which would damage any marking.

Congratulations ...let us know how it shoots!
