2005年5月7日 · Commercial serial numbering began with 1 in 1901, and continued to the 92,000 range in 1921.

2020年5月5日 · Your Luger looks like it was refinished. This and the mixed parts make it a "shooter" Luger. If it's in 7.65 (.30) Luger caliber rather than 9mm, these have less market demand.

Considering the receiver cut for the Artillery rear sight, I'd say the DWM toggle link is the replacement part but without seeing more of the pistol, that's only an educated guess.

2024年9月17日 · This 1910-dated DWM Luger was one of the first standard military-contract 9mm Lugers to be made for the Imperial German Army, with total production reaching somewhere close to 19 or 20 thousand. This is NOT a commercial gun taken by the military, but a military-contract piece, and it is marked as such with the military acceptance proofs ...
