1918 Luger question

grayparatrooper · 01-29-2014, 01:19 PM

I have a 1918 Dwm all matching except the rear toggle/bolt and orig finish. My gun serial ends in 90 the toggle is 36. Any idea on how this one main part could be different? Also the finish on the bolt is much newer than the rest. Any sources for finding a bolt that ends In 90 to get it all matching?

Your pistol appears to be a DWM. If so it should have a DWM toggle train.

Oops goes to show how much I know I guess it is a dwm. Still the toggle isn't matching and IDE like to find one that does if possible.

There is no easy solution to your quest, but remember, that one out of every 99 DWM Lugers have the #90 part that you need. Advertise in the WTB section below, watch GunBroker.com, E-Bay, etc, and also watch for mismatched shooters with that part. Just when you least expect it...
Also you can set up daily searches for Luger Parts, Luger Toggle, etc, and both E-bay and GB.com will notify you daily on what items have just been listed.
You may also want to check with lour LugerDoc, as he has a lot of stuff around.

Sent some emails and keeping an eye out. Good idea on the mismatch hadn't thought of check those.

hey, BTW, you were right in what you first called it - DWM toggle

I looked, have a shooter and a full toggle, neither match your numbers - sorry
