This is an excellent example of a DWM Model 1900 "American Eagle" commercial Luger pistol. These pistols were the true first commercial contract Luger pistols produced by DWM and can be found in the 2000-19000 serial number range with this specific being produced right at the end of their production. These pistols were specifically intended for sales in the U.S. market, hence the use of the American Eagle symbol on top of the chamber area with the DWM markings on the front toggle. 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 no hold-open device. They had superb hand fitted parts with the beautiful pre-war high polish rust blued finish with the straw colored small parts with checkered walnut grips. The lower safety area is unmarked and left with the bright polished. It is correctly serial numbered in the commercial fashion with the serial number under the barrel and on the front of the frame which is also marked "GERMANY". It is complete with one magazine with the nickel plated body and the unnumbered wooden base with the small early proof.

Excellent with 98% plus of the original blue finish overall with a hint of wear on some of the edges and high spots. The various small parts retain 85% of their original straw colors overall. The grips are very fine with nice distinct checkering with a few minor nicks and handling marks. This excellent DWM Model 1900 American Eagle Luger has all matching numbers with an unnumbered magazine.
