This is a unique example of a DWM Model 1920 Commercial Luger Artillery pistol that is marked "Pacific Arms Corporation" of San Francisco. The Pacific Arms Corporation was akin to the A.F. Stoeger and Von Lengerke & Company only they were located on the west coast in San Francisco. They did not achieve the same recognition or sales volume as the other companies, making their Luger examples very rare today. The Luger is a standard 1920 commercial model as made by the DWM factory. It has a blank chamber area with the DWM logo on the front toggle. The right side of the barrel extension is roll marked "PACIFIC ARMS/CORPORATION/S.F. CALIF U.S.A.". Additionally both grip panels have a brass (quarter size) coin inset into the grips that reads (around the edges): "PACIFIC ARMS CORPORATION/SAN FRANCISCO CALIF U.S.A." with the center of the disc also marked with the intertwined logo of "PAC". These 1920 Lugers still retain their German "GESICHERT and GELADEN" markings in the safety area and on the extractor. The underside of the barrel, left side of the barrel extension and breech block all have the early "Crown/N" commercial proof mark. It is commercially numbered with the full number on the front of the frame only, with the last two digits on the trigger, take down lever, both grips, the side plate and rear toggle, with the other parts unnumbered. It has the standard front sight with adjustable artillery rear sight marked 1-8 (100-800) meters. It comes with one, wooden base magazine that is stamped with "GERMANY" on the wooden base.

Very fine as partially refinished (grip straps), retailer marked with 85% of the blue finish still remaining with wear on the edges and high spots with thinning on the grips straps and old touch up blue on the center of the barrel. The smaller parts retain 10% of their straw colors overall, mostly in the protected areas. The grips are in very fine condition with nice distinct checkering overall with some light wear across the tops of the checkering, mixed with a couple minor handling marks. A unique looking and very rare 1920 Pacific Arms Corp., commercial Artillery-style Luger pistol.
