This is a late WWI DWM Model 1914 German Luger pistol as issued to the Imperial German Navy. The model of 1914 is easily identified as it lacks the grip safety and is dated over the chamber (1917) and again on the left frame rail and left side of the front sight base. They also have the standard, longer 6 inch barrel with a fixed front sight and the Navy, two position adjustable rear sight. The rear sight is graduated for 100 and 200 meters. It has the standard DWM monogram on the front toggle. The left side of the barrel and barrel extension are both stamped with the appropriate "crown" and "crown/M" proofs. It comes with an original non-matching WWI Navy magazine with the nickel-plated body and the unmarked Navy style wooden base. It has a blued metal finish, straw colored smaller parts, and checkered walnut grips. The left grip is unmarked and the right grip has been marked on the back side in white paint with "3862 NAVY". It is complete with a non-matching serialized earlier production Navy walnut board stock, with a blued attaching iron that is numbered, "7309/e". It also includes a leather holster. The holster is stamped on the inside with "LOHSOHNE/Berlin" and is complete with a reproduction takedown tool inside the holster.

Very fine with 85% plus of the original blue finish overall, edge and high spot wear, and blue loss on the side plate, muzzle and front edges of the frame rails mixed with some browning/oxidation on the lower edges of the grip straps. The smaller parts retain 50% of their original straw colors. The grips are also in very fine condition with nice distinct checkering and light handling marks. The stock is in very good condition with light handling marks and scratches on the sides. The holster is in fair condition with the stitching intact; however, the face of the leather shows age cracking and some of the surface leather flaking off.
