Thanks...I'm a happy camper with this purchase. If I can find one or two more in this condition with History, I might indulge myself again. I find the WWI lugers with all the markings more interesting that WWII. If I can find ones with the best of both era's as this one turned out, I could become an addict real easy. I wouldn't be losing anything because they are all inheritance for my kids.
I have all the other WWII occupational pistols I need, I've never been a fan of P-38s. |

I pick it up Tuesday. This makes two MG Unit marked pieces, I'm going to mount them on an angle facing each other with a pickelhalb helmet in the middle. Should be a nice display, then I'll go after one (1) early nazi police pistol to display between my two police shakos, one municipal, one rural. I have promised myself to quit after that.

Picked up my 1916 DWM today. I found it almost identical in condition as my 1915, hardly any difference at all. All numbers match except for the wooden base mag. Was also a MG unit issue but is not a police rework, barrell is excellent and under the grips the mag chute is mint. Mag is somewhat tarnish.

Looks like the bug has really bitten...
Send some close-ups of the unit markings, as I'm sure someone here will have a close neighbor. Very nice. dju |

M.G. TR. 9. K.
My guess is Machine Gun Trupe 9 K company....if that is somewhat close, there isn't much history that I could find. MG Trupe 1 thru 6, yes but higher, no. I haven't been able to find much on the first MG 1915. About end of Feb I'll be in the market for a 38-41 Nazi era Police K-issue, after that I'll have the three I wanted and I'll have to move on. |

Nice. I've seen some of these where the part that goes under the trigger was welded back on, but this one look right. I just wonder if it allows full trigger movement when a mag is installed? This is why most were removed. TH
