Description:

Also known as the "Lange Pistole" (literally "Long Pistol"), the Artillery Luger was intended for soldiers like machine gunners and artillerists who needed their hands free for their primary task but also needed a backup weapon more potent than a standard handgun if the enemy managed to close in. Fine adjustable blade front and tangent rear sights, with the "1916" date on the chamber, "DWM" on the front toggle link, and appropriate military proofs on the barrel, receiver, and breechblock. Numbers are matching overall, including inside the grips and on the magazine base. Blue finish overall, with straw finished small parts, checkered grips and nickel finished magazine. Included with the pistol is a pigskin and leather flap holster, marked "AWM/1/15" on the back; the holster has been arsenal modified, with a set of mounts for a board stock removed, conventional belt loops added, dual magazine pouches and a small pocket in the main body holding an (included) takedown tool.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 90% of the original blue finish, showing mild spotting, light handling marks and bright edge wear. 70% original straw colors remain on the small parts. Grips are very fine, with a small chip absent near the safety lever. Mechanically excellent. The holster is fine, with some cracking of the retention strap and mild stains and scuffs overall.
