Description
5/13/26 - This is a very nice example of a rare Weimar-Ear 1920/1920 double-date DWM Luger. The first "1920" (closest to the ejection port) indicates the date of manufacture, 1920. The second "1920" (closest to the muzzle) is a government property marking. Due to restrictions under the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was only allowed to have a certain amount of guns in military and police service. This marking indicates it was ear-marked for government service. This particular gun was issued to the German police force in 1920. It is mostly matching, but the rear toggle pin is mismatched. There are Weimar-Era proofs on the right side of the slide and an added police sear safety. The left grip screw is "Eagle 6" Simson proofed. It comes with a matching police arsenal-numbered magazine. It also comes with a 1929-dated, "Star K" proofed police holster (the tool pouch is missing). The back of the holster is unit-marked, but the gun has no such unit marking. The gun itself has retained about 93% of its original finish with general high edge wear, muzzle wear, and some dulling on the grip straps. The stock lug on the back strap has been ground flat. Fitted with un-numbered wood grips - there appears to be a very thin layer of lacquer on them. Very nice bore with great rifling.
