1917 DWM Luger from TURKEY
I, again, don't know if this Luger a military or a commercial pistol is. Anyway, she has the most perfect bore I have ever seen in a Luger barrel. Her owner told me that the skin of the pistol was a miserable condition, despite the perfect barrel, and he had to refurbish (re-blue) it in order to protect this Luger.
Unfortunately I have forgotten to take photos of this Luger before I disassembled her. Indeed I have photos of her together with some other Lugers and pistols of different brands and types. Please do not forget to add your comments about this Luger. I am a beginner in Luger Hobby and still collecting books from Jan Still, Joachim Görtz, John Walter, Jan R. Hallock-Joop van de Kant, Mauro Baudino and other publications I can find. Unfortunately I have less time due to my business to read all these. Nevertheless I am working on it. I hope to be a good Lugerist in Turkey, literally and practically. Here are the photos: Here I begin with the slide (receiver) Date 1917 is visible on the chamber One can see the DWM stamp on the toggle The grips are made of wood and mother of pearl (I often see such grips in Turkey, it is not my taste) I tried it without flash, not very successful, eh! Toggle see the last two digits of the serial number and the DWM stamp I will post the remaining photos very soon. |

Derar Edward,
unfortunately I didn't understand what you mean. I upload the photos on Photobucket than copy the image links to Lugerforum. Is there anything wrong with what I do? Can't view the photos? If you mean that I should upload the photos to Lugerforum it will take too much space on forum servers and this is undesirable at most of the forums I take part as a member. If I have to reduce the size of my photos then, I am afraid, some of the details on the photos are going to get lost. I would prefer uploading to Photobucket, unless have to do otherwise as a forum rule. |

It is also desirable to archive the pics here rather than offsite, as those aforementioned sites often change their URLs or implement other programs [Flash] which require the 'latest' version to view pics with...Which not everybody has or wants... The max sise of pics allowed here is something like 1100 x 1100 pixels, which is more than adequate to view all the little nooks & crannies. Remember...You won't get any help if the members can't see your pics...

Dear postino,
thank you very much for you brief explanation. I am woking for myself for sometime now and I forgot the company rules of some corporates. I can't even imagine why a company should prevent it's employees to reach Photobucket web-site. If the employee doesn't want to work with high performance, he/she wouldn't do it, whatever you do, even prevent access to some web-sites. He/she needs either a different motivation or wants to get fired. Anyway, I got the message. Next time I will try to to upload my photos both on Photobucket and Lugerforum. |

Hi Evren, I upload all my photos with a maximum dimension of 1000px. As you can see, lack of resolution is not a problem. Keep sending us photos of interesting guns from Turkey! Best regards, Norm
