This is an exceptional example of DWM Model 1923 "American Eagle" Commercial Luger with the very desirable A.F. Stoeger markings. These 1923 American Eagle Lugers were made expressly for export to the United States by or from the newly formed "Mauser" factory. These were contracted with Mauser by the A.F. Stoeger Company in New York, who was one of the largest firearms importer in the 1920s and 1930s. The chamber is marked with the American Eagle crest, and the front toggle has the DWM markings for the Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken. It is chambered for the 7.65 mm Luger cartridge with the rapid taper 6 inch Navy-length barrel. The right side of the barrel extension is rolled marked with a small "GERMANY" followed by "A.F. STOEGER, INC./NEW YORK." with the right side of the frame roll marked "GENUINE LUGER - REGISTERED U.S. PATENT OFFICE". It is marked "LOADED" and "SAFE" respectively on the extractor and under the safety lever. The front of the frame is stamped with the serial number, with an unnumbered "crown/N" proofed barrel and the small parts numbered "19" in the commercial pattern. A "barleycorn" style front sight is installed in the muzzle dovetail, with straw finished small parts, checkered grips, and a nickel finished magazine with an unnumbered "GERMANY" marked hardwood base. A custom case with a French-cut interior for the pistol is included.

Very fine, with 85% plus retailer blue finish, showing some light edge wear, spotting and handling marks. 70% of the straw color is present, and the grips are very fine with some light dings and scratches. The custom case is very fine, with some light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
