could you slo post pics of the back of the belt buckle?

Looks like some very nice stuff there. I'm guessing around $1500 if the mags. do not match, up to $2500 if they both match. That assumes that the numbers all match on the gun, no big surprises, etc.
Those are ballpark figures, mind you. It may look better in the flesh, but then again there isn't as much money out there for these as there once was.

Here a re a few more pictures, I will get some more out tomorrow of the back of the buckle.. Had company over today so I haven't been able to get more pictures together.

Any ideas what the details might be for this set?

wayne8661 · 10-22-2011, 07:35 PM

are there numbers on the bottoms of the mags? If so coud you provide photos? Also is there a chamber date on the pistol?

I believe after reading the information provided by the folks here that have been kind enough to assist and the information available searching this website, that this is an original 1917 DWM 9mm Luger, with belt, holster, maintenance tool, extra clip 5 rounds of original ammunition.

Not sure what to do next, possibly have it appraised if it is worth it?
Would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

you just did

You could send it to an advanced collector, or a place like Simpson's or Legacy Collectables, both do appraisals.

2 extra mags is nice, but not the same value as 2 mags with the same numbers.

Then retail value is different than collector value and different than me buying and want to resell

If you get the gun and holster back, keep the gun and mags out of the holster. The holster will eventually cause damage to the finish.

This is pretty neat stuff. Wish you didn't have to sell it, especially under the circumstances.
