Rare Very Early Pre-World War I 1913 Dated DWM Model 1914 Luger Pistol

This an early "b" serial number suffix, all original Luger pistol as produced in early 1913. The chamber is dated 1913, and the front toggle is marked "DWM". The right side of the barrel extension has the standard three "Crown/Gothic letter" proofs next to the "Imperial Eagle" proof, and the left side has the four digit serial number. The bottom of the barrel has the correct four digit serial number and letter suffix with the bore diameter "8,82" below. Above the serial number, it is marked "BO26" indicating that the barrel was manufactured from Bohler Steel, a high quality steel used sometimes to supplement standard DWM/Mauser production. The safety and extractor are correctly marked "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" respectively. Standard military serial number markings with the full serial number on the main components and the last two digits "86" of the serial number on the smaller parts. It has standard fixed sights with an early production nickel plated magazine with a wooden base and only a single "Crown/Script letter" proof.

ConditionExcellent with 95% plus of the original factory rust blued finish with thinning on the frame rails, side plate hump and muzzle area of the barrel. The grip straps are solid showing slight handling marks. The small parts retain 90% of their original straw colors overall. The grips are in excellent condition with a nice matching medium brown color overall showing minor light wear with just a couple of very light minor pressure marks on the right side from the stud on a holster. As noted, this Luger has all matching numbers except the magazine as noted above and the firing pin which is unnumbered. An excellent example of a very early pre-WWI DWM Luger pistol.
