DWM Commercial Model 1900 Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol

These Model 1900 pistols were the first true commercial Luger pistols produced by DWM and can be found in the 2000-19000 serial number range, with this being a very late production example bearing serial number 18767. It has the standard blank chamber area with the DWM logo on the front toggle. The pistol has no visible German proofs. The majority of these pistols ended up on the U.S. market. This pistol has all the early desirable Luger features such as the early long frame, dished toggles with toggle lock on the right side, recessed breechblock, 4 3/4 inch fast tapered barrel, grip safety, no stock lug, and this example has been fitted with the later hold-open device. The lower safety area is correctly unmarked and polished. "GERMANY" marked on the front of the frame, and "12" on the left of the barrel extension. It is correctly serial numbered in the commercial fashion with the full matching serial number under the barrel and on the front of the frame, and the partial matching serial number visible on various components, with non-matching numbered sideplate and unnumbered grips. It is complete with one original magazine with the nickel-plated body and an unnumbered wooden base. Knowledgeable collectors have concluded that this is a Portuguese 1900 test Luger with the number "12" indicating the number of the test gun.

ConditionFine, retains 60% original blue finish with extensive scattered patches of light to moderate pitting and smooth brown patina on the balance. Grips are very good with some handling marks and dents. Mechanically excellent.
