This is an early production DWM Model 1923 Commercial Luger semi-automatic pistol in the 75,000 serial range, just past the 1914 commercials. The chamber area is blank and it has the standard "DWM" logo on the front toggle. A "crown/N" proof is present on the extension, with "IMPORT" on the underside of the barrel and "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" markings on the safety and extractor. Matching full numbers are present on the barrel and frame, with matching partial numbers on the takedown latch, sideplate, trigger, sear, safety, hold-open, toggles and breechblock. Straw colored small parts, nickel magazine with a smooth wood base and fitted with checkered walnut grips. Comes with an unmarked brown leather flap holster.

Excellent. The pistol retains 90% plus of the original blue finish, showing a few areas of gray and brown patina, bright edge wear and scattered handling marks. The grips are very fine with mild pressure dents, verdigris and crisp checkering. The holster is fine with some flex cracking and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
