Army made by DWM in 1916

You can figure out approx the date by time of year (not really month) by the suffix

what are on the bases of the magazines? The tow aluminum are post 1926 - so close ups would be great

Check for the last two of the serial number on parts - the take down lever should have the last 2 on it and it looks blank - look and see if a number on the underneath of the take down lever, but that would be commercial and its an army. Lot of other parts should have the last two - see the FAQ

Appears to be quite mismatched, bluing is thin, and grips are dinged up. I'd guess around $800.00.

I agree with David....it is a mixed parts Luger. If it functions well, it could be a good shooter with no worry of breaking a matched part. In my part of the Country, that Luger would sell for $750-850.

Looks to be a short receiver + long frame...
