Exceptional 1908 DWM Military Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol Dated 1913 with Matching Magazine

This is a wonderful example of a very late 1913 dated DWM Military contract Luger pistol. The year of 1913 was a transition year for the Luger pistol, in that the German Army was in the process of adopting two new features; one, a permanent stock lug on the rear grip strap that a wooden stock could be attached, and two, the adoption of the hold-open latch in the frame so that after the last round was fired the toggles would stay open to speed up loading the next magazine. This Luger has one of those features, the hold-open device. The top of the chamber area is dated "1913", and it has the DWM logo on the front toggle. The right side of the barrel extension has the three "crown/script letter" army inspection proofs, next to the single army test proof. There is also a single Imperial army test proof on the barrel. This Luger is marked in the standard military fashion with the full serial number stamped on the frame, barrel, and barrel extension with the last two digits on the various small parts. The rear toggle numbered "33". It has the standard safety and extractor markings and is fitted with the original checkered walnut grips and it has the original, matching numbered magazine with this pistol. The magazine itself has the nickel plated body with the wooden base correctly marked, '8722/+'.

ConditionExcellent with 99% of the original blued finish overall with 98% of the professionally restored straw colors on the small parts. The walnut grips are also in exceptional condition with crisp sharp checkering overall. The small parts retain their original serial numbers, and the overall restoration of the straw colors only adds to the exceptional condition of this beautiful pistol. As noted this pistol has the original matching magazine. Just a stunning example of a 1908 DWM military contract Luger pistol.
