SOLD - Scarce DWM "Sneak" Police Luger (7378 - 25089)

Description

6/13/23 - This is a scarce DWM military "sneak" Luger from the Weimar period. These are typically termed Sneak Lugers based on the lack of any identifying manufactures markings and proof marks, which the Nazis did to disguise their early rearmament efforts. This one does have a DWM toggle but has no chamber date. All numbered parts are matching. Weimar-era proofs on the right side of the slide and what looks like a West German "Eagle H". There is a police sear safety, police magazine safety, and a defaced unit marking on the front strap. The gun has retained roughly 85-90% of its bluing. There is wear around the muzzle, on the side plate, and on the side rails. Spotty oxidation and some minor pitting on the grip straps. There is pitting on the frame under the grips and visible above the right grip. The right grip screw is rusted and split. Fitted with excellent wood grips - the left is numbered and matching, the right is un-numbered. Comes with an un-numbered aluminum-bottom magazine. The bore has good rifling with very minor pin-pricking throughout.
