Double Dates

JohnF · 12-27-2002, 02:23 PM

I have a chance to buy a DWM pistol which has two dates on the chamber. Can someone please tell me what this signifies and if it is a good or bad thing? Thanks in advance.

I assume one of the "dates" is 1920? It is actually a Weimer period property stamp, and not a date. It detracts some value from the pistol, but not a lot.

don't get discourged, double dates, or Weimar period Lugers have a large following and can bring good bucks for correct and mint condition....can you supply me with more info. like military or police proofs, match mag, total match rig ????

That's all that I know at present, but I'll post more info once I've seen the pistol. Thanks for the replies.
