Dwm 1918

Saxon · 06-30-2019, 05:05 PM

I'm new to this Forum and have a question on the above.It's all matching save the mag and some small parts.It has no barrel dimension in mm's stamped on the barrel and on the right side of the receiver it only has a Gothic T and standing eagle with a crown.
Serial number is 2144m.
What have I got? Thank you.

Pictures are needed as your description leaves out a lot of basic information needed to assess value properly. Small parts being non-matching probably makes it a shooter grade pistol from the start.

Thank you QM. I'm not really looking for a value.It doesn't look like the 1918's in Jan Still's book.

Without pictures, all anyone can say is it is a luger!

If it doesn't look like the one in the picture, then obviously someone has changed something or it started out different.

Military inspection broke down at the end of WW 1. k block DWM 1918 P 08's are the last fully inspected pistols. (Though production ran through the "s" block). Thus the missing inspection stamps. Hope this helps, Mike
