Wayne, these are collectible, but not HIGHLY collectible due to the large number of them out there. Also, the .30 caliber luger makes them more expensive to shoot. Many are available in better than 98% condition, so one should try to be descriminative.

I am new here and was directed here for information. I too have a commercial DWM, serial 916. There are also two magazines with wooden bases stamped with "Germany" and "916" I will have to get the other identification information and pictures but would appreciate a date of manufacture and a rough idea of value. Just looking for basic info at the moment. Thanks.

Ed,
We would need more info to determine the model/year. Also include a suffix for the serial#, if it has one. Not all do. It is a small lower case cursive letter under the serial# on the front of the frame. It is part of the S#. (example: 916m).
