The luger is a standard issue as manufactured in 1917 by the DWM company. The top of the chamber area is marked "1917" and the rear toggle has the DWM logo. The right side of the barrel extension has the three Crown over Script letter proofs with the Imperial Eagle proof. The underside of the barrel has the serial number and the bore markings and the small Imperial Eagle proof on top of the barrel and left side of breechblock. It has the military style serial number placement with the last two digits on each part with the full serial number on the major components. It has the correct WWI magazine with the nickel plated body and the unmarked wooden base. The pistol has the rust blued finish with the straw colored small parts.

Very fine. The pistol retains approximately 85% plus thinning original blue finish with some fine pin point pitting and gray on the high edges. Approximately half of the straw finish remains on the small components. The grips are very fine with a few minor dings in the overall sharp checkering.
