DWM Model 1900 Swiss Contract Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol with Interesting Holster/Ammunition Carrier and Three Boxes of 1930s Vintage Swiss Ammunition

Fixed sights, with the "Swiss cross in sunburst" on top of the chamber, "DWM" monogram on the front toggle link, and matching external serial numbers on the side plate and rear toggle link. A small "Swiss Cross" proof is present on the barrel and extension, with a "+/V" proof on the extension and a bright lower safety position. Fitted with straw and niter blue finished components, dished toggles with toggle lock, a flat/recessed breech bolt, no stock lug, grip safety, serrated safety lever, wide trigger, and a "pencil" barrel. Grips are checkered, with a nickel magazine and unmarked wood base with nickel disks. The included brown leather holster is fitted with a shoulder strap and no belt loops, in contrast to more common Swiss holsters with a thick belt loop and a shoulder strap for extra support, with one compartment for the pistol and another sized to hold three boxes of ammunition, with a cloth pull-cord to assist in withdrawing the boxes from the compartment. All three included boxes are black paper construction with white "Schweiz. Eidgenossenschaft - Confederation Suisse" labels indicating 24 rounds per box, with dates of "17.11.1931", "(illeg)3.1933" and "(illeg)2.1935." on the labels.

ConditionVery fine as Swiss arsenal refurbished, showing 95% plus high quality blue finish, with some bright edge wear and mild handling marks. The straw and niter blue colors are bright and vivid overall, even on the screw head and trigger face. The grips are very good, with some mild dings and dark spots. The holster is very good, with some cracking on the flaps and light scuffs, though still of solid construction. The ammunition boxes remain sealed, with some wear and loss on the labels. Mechanically excellent.
