Description:

Made by DWM expressly for the American arms market with the signature "American Eagle" on top of the chamber. Fixed sights, an early pattern Luger bolt and toggle assembly with the flat top bolt, unmarked extractor, and dished toggle knobs with spring-loaded toggle lock. Serial numbers are commercial in layout, and except for the unmarked magazine base are externally matching, and the "GERMANY" import mark is present on the front of the frame. Equipped with straw finished small components, a grip safety, checkered grips and a correct nickel bodied magazine with a wood base. The included belt holster is marked "JOS. SULLIVAN/Ft. BENTON". Founded in 1881 the saddlery firm of Joseph Sullivan was the longest running and best known of the Fort Benton, Montana saddle works operating from the 1880s until 1940. Sullivan saddles were very popular, in the words of Montana author and historian Joel Overholser, "Sullivan saddles went as far North as Edmonton and South to the Colorado line".

Rating Definition:

Fine with 75% original blue finish remains with areas of high point and edge wear, some visible pin point spotting, and mixed gray patina on the grip straps. The grips are also fine with moderately worn checkering and a few small dings. Mechanically excellent. Holster is good with scuffs and scratches overall, tight stitching, visible age cracking, and some small holes worn at the tip.
