1940 "dwm"

Ed, It is a little known fact that ( now don't let this get out ) if you take parts from two 1920 DWM's and assemble them, you have a 1940 DWM.

This is well documented in Betty Crocker's "Fillet of Luger" vol III. A highly respected Luger collector in the Mid West will also varify this.

The rarest and most desirable variations are the "Odd Year" 1940 DWMs. 1915/1925, 1911/1929, 1902/1938 etc. They can command up to $605-$719 at a big garage sale.

The rarest is, the chrome plated with frazite grips 1940 DWM that was presented to Hermann GÃ?Â¶ering after winning a cream puff eating contest. I have it in my collection. A very rare, one of a kind Luger.
That guy at the gunshow told me so.

As I said Mum's the word. If this gets out everybody will be looking for them.
