This is an excellent example of an original commercial contract DWM Model 1906 American Eagle Luger, that was manufactured expressly by DWM for export to the United States. This exceptional example is fitted with the scarce 3 7/8 inch barrel as apposed to the longer 4 7/8 inch fast taper barrel typically found on these Model 1906 American Eagle Lugers. This example is also chambered in the desirable 9mm caliber, which did not become a standard commercial caliber until much later in the production cycle. These early commercial Lugers were beautifully made and exhibit the best fit and finish of the all the various commercial Lugers manufactured during this time frame. This example has the correct short style frame and upper receiver with the flat toggles, short 4 inch barrel configuration, the distinctive grip safety and polished lower safety area. The top of the chamber area is marked with the large American Eagle crest and the DWM logo is on the front toggle. The extractor is also correctly marked "LOADED" and the correct, commercial style full serial number (26655) stamped on the underside of the barrel and front of the frame with the last two digits of the serial number (55) stamped on the various small parts. The front end of the frame is stamped "GERMANY" indicating export outside of Europe. The pistol is fitted with a set of correct checkered walnut grips. It is complete with a correct nickel plated magazine marked "Cal 9m/m" in script on wooden base.

Excellent. The pistol retains 97% plus of the original blue finish overall with a hint of edge and high spot wear, as well as some slight wear directly ahead of the side plate. The various small parts retain 75% of the straw color. The grips are also excellent showing a few very minor dings in the otherwise crisp checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically excellent. An exceptional example of an early production Model 1906 American Eagle 9 m/m Luger pistol.
