Estate Luger 2/3

Looks like an artillery model. Mauser from what I can tell from the stamps?

It’s crazy how well these were made. Was never into older firearms but can certainly see the draw!

Any insights are appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

DWM manufactured Artillery Luger made in 1918. Looks to have been refinished.

Mauser did not make Lugers until the 1930's. The maker was DWM or Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken. DWM was a private contractor who made both commercial and military Lugers.
