First luger! 1920 DWM
Hi everyone! Long time reader, first time poster! Finally came into a luger for a good price, and was wanting some opinions and info if I could! It seems to be a 1920 DWM in 9mm. Seems to be all matching, even firing pin, but I notice the barrel itself has the numbers 803 underneath, while the receiver and everything else on the barrel has the serial that matches everything else (1574). Does anyone know why or what that number is for? Also, upon inspection, I found 2 eagle and swastika stamps on right side of receiver, one on the receiver, other above trigger. Also didn't know if someone could shine some light on it. It also has a different eagle stamp on the top of the barrel, kind of in the middle. It has the original finish, some pitting on the right side of receiver. Came with aluminum mag but no numbers, and a black mag that seems to be a newer one, along with what looks to be the original cleaning rod and oiler combo. Interesting as well is the box it's in. It seems to be handmade, and has some sort of felt like interior. It's got what looks to be old type round head flat head screws so I believe it's old. Perhaps vet bring back and he made it for the gun to display? From the condition I would guess so. Thanks for any info!! Sorry for the long winded description. I'll post some pics of what it looked like before I cleaned it and after (quite dirty). At work now so I'll include some better ones later! First pic is after I cleaned it and it's in the box. Others were when I first saw it. (It looks SO much better now)
