Imperial German DWM Model 1908 Navy Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol

This is a very good example of a DWM Model 1908 Imperial German Navy Luger. These were the standard pre-WWI Navy Luger issued to the Imperial German Navy all the way through WWI and even into the Weimar era. The top of the chamber area is undated and it has the standard "DWM" logo on the front toggle. The barrel extension has the smaller Imperial "Crown" firing proof followed by a double "Crown/M" acceptance proof marks. The underside of the barrel also has a single "Crown/M" acceptance proof with a single "Crown" proof on the left side of the barrel, which is also stamped on the left side of the breech block. It has the standard military style serial number placement with the full serial number (2993) stamped on the underside of the barrel, front of the frame and the underside of the barrel extension. The various smaller parts are stamped with the last two digits (93). This model of Navy Luger does not have a grip safety and it has the second version safety markings with "GESICHERT" in the upper position. It has the desirable 6 inch Navy barrel along with the two-position Navy rear sight. This desirable Luger is complete with one original Navy magazine with the nickel plated magazine body with the wooden base that has the concentric circles on the ends. The base is stamped with an inverted "Crown/M" naval proof over "2943".

ConditionVery good as partially refinished with 30% of the faded, thin original blue overall with cold blue touch up finish present on the entire barrel with the balance of the pistol a slight gray patina. The small parts retain 20% of their straw colors overall, with slightly more in the protected areas. The walnut grips are in good with condition with nice distinct checkering with the high points of the checkering exhibiting wear mixed with some pressure dents and dings. This desirable Luger has all matching numbers except the magazine as noted and the firing pin which is unnumbered.
