This is a fine example of DWM Model 1923 "American Eagle" Commercial Luger with the very desirable A.F. Stoeger retailer markings. These 1923 American Eagle Lugers were made expressly for export to the United States. A.F. Stoeger Company in New York, was one of the largest firearms importers in the U.S. during the 1920s and 1930s. The chamber is marked with the American Eagle crest, and the front toggle has the "DWM" monogram for Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken, which later became Mauser. 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 the barrel lug marked "614". The takedown lever, side cover, and trigger are marked "17" in the commercial style. A beaded blade front sight is installed in the muzzle dovetail, with straw finished small parts, checkered grips, and a correct magazine with "GERMANY" marked hardwood base.

Fine as assembled showing 70% original blue on the frame and barrel assemblies, some areas of light edge wear, mostly gray patina on the grip straps, the rear toggle has a visible plum tint, and 60% original straw finish on the small parts. The grips are excellent with crisp checkering and just a few small dings. Mechanically excellent.
