SOLD - 1916 DWM Navy Luger - Matching Magazine (5750 - 35042)

Description

1/15/25 - This is a rare 1914 Variation Navy DWM Luger made in 1916, in all matching and original condition, including the original matching magazine. There were only about 7,900 of this variation produced in 1916, and many are messed with or in worn condition. This one has retained about 95% of rust blue finish, with high edge wear on the sideplate and muzzle, as well as an area of finish loss on the bottom of the front strap, and a small area of pitting on the right side of the frame. You can see the halos on the serial number under the barrel. The grips are numbered and matching to the pistol. They're also in great shape and without notable defects. Bore is clean with strong rifling, rated an 8 out of 10. There is a "Germany" export mark under the barrel, so this one likely was issued in WW1 to the German Navy, and then after the war exported to the US.
