Manufactured in 1915. Blade front and notch rear sights. The chamber is marked "1915" and "DWM" on the toggle. Proper safety and extractor markings, matching full serial numbers on the barrel, extension and frame, and matching partial numbers on the takedown lever, side plate, trigger, sear, safety, toggles, extractor, breechblock and firing pin. The right side of the barrel extension is marked with the three crown/Gothic letter proofs followed by the Imperial eagle. The Imperial eagle is repeated on the right upper rear of the barrel and left side of the breechblock. With a black leather Otto Sindel 1915 dated flap holster, with a wood based nickel magazine numbered to match the gun. At some point the pistol and holster suffered extensive damage, possibly from bomb fragments or automatic weapons fire. The holster shows three or four entry holes on the back surface and a single large exit hole through the flap, which corresponds with areas of tearing and deformation on the magazine and back strap.

Battle damaged relic with 95% original blue finish, showing some wear along the high edges and areas of gray patina. Some components have been displaced, including the grips and mainspring assembly. Mild scuffs and tears are visible on the holster, in addition to the above noted holes. If this Luger could tell the story, what a story it could tell!
