DWM Model 1908 Military Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol Dated 1913

This is a very nice example of a scarce 1913 dated DWM Luger pistol. This is generally accepted as the last year that DWM manufactured the 1908 pattern luger pistol. These can be distinguished by the lack of the hold-open device and stock lug. This example has been modified to add the hold open device which was later performed on many Model 1908 Lugers after WWI. The top of the chamber is dated "1913" ,and the front toggle is marked "DWM". It has standard factory markings with Imperial acceptance markings on the barrel extension and barrel. The underside of the barrel is also marked "BO" which indicates it has a Bohler steel barrel. It has the standard rust blued finish with straw colors on the small parts with checkered walnut grips. It is complete with one WWI, nickel plated magazine with an unnumbered wooden base.

ConditionVery fine overall with 85% of the faded original blued finish showing minor edge and high spot wear overall with some minor old light rust/old pin-prick pitting on the left side of the front sight base, the center section of the barrel and the front and rear grip strap. The various small parts retain traces of their refurbished straw colors. The grips are also in very fine condition overall with nice distinct checkering on both sides with only minor edge wear on the lower edges of the grips. It has matching numbers on the various parts except the magazine. A very nice example of a 1913 dated Luger pistol.
