This is an excellent example of a late production DWM Model 1902 American Eagle Luger pistol chambered in the rare "9 mm" Luger cartridge. This model is rare in that it was fitted with the scarce 4 inch, fat barrel configuration when the standard Luger has the slightly longer 4 3/4 inch fast tapered barrel. This model was a continuation of the earlier 1900 commercial Luger with these model specifically intended for the U.S. market with only 600-700 total being made with the fat barrel. This pistol has the new style frame with coil leaf springs and no stock lug, recessed breech block, dished toggles with toggle lock and grip safety. The barrel extension is also the short old model with the top of the chamber area with the American Eagle roll markings with the front toggle marked with the "DWM" logo. Serial numbered in a commercial manner with the full serial number "23308" on the front of the frame, and underside of the barrel, with the partial serial number "08" on the various small parts. The lower safety position is unmarked and polished bright with the extractor correctly unmarked. This Luger is complete with one original wood base, nickel plated magazine, that is marked with a script "Cal 9m/m" on the bottom of the base.

Excellent with 97% plus of the original blue finish overall with just a hint of minor edge wear. The smaller parts retain 60% plus of their original straw colors with slightly more colors in the protected areas. The walnut grips are also in excellent condition with nice sharp checkering on both sides with only a couple minor nicks in the checkering. A really spectacular example of a late DWM manufactured 1902 American eagle Luger pistol.
