DWM 1920/1921 Dual Date Police Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol Rig with Two Matching Magazines and Holster

Manufactured in 1921, this pistol is marked and equipped as a government inventory handgun that was later seconded to law enforcement. Fixed sights, with "1920" hand stamped and "1921" factory stamped on top of the chamber, a circled "S" on the left side, "DWM" on the toggle, and Weimar-era "eagle" inspection marks on the appropriate parts. A pair of police safeties installed, with the sear safety in good order and the magazine well safety partially present but disabled; a point of contention among buyers and users clear up to the present day, a disabled mag well safety is a common sight on Police Lugers. The frontstrap bears two unit markings, "Ma.403." and "S.D.I.1.18.", with "403." stamped on the back of the frame. The grip panels are unnumbered, otherwise the numbers are matching overall, including on both of the nickel finished alloy based magazines; neither magazine bears the "+" spare magazine mark used on German police pistols. Included with the lot is a 1936 dated police holster with "427" stamped on the back, extra matching magazine, and takedown tool numbered "537". Provenance: The Paul Crockett Jr. Collection

ConditionVery fine, with 75% of the original blue finish, showing bright wear along the high edges, a mixed brown patina on the gripstraps, and mild spotting and handling marks overall. A few dings are visible on the receiver near the toggle lugs. 30% of the original bright straw color is present, with the remainder turned a mixed gray. The grips are good, with some dents and chips. The holster shows some lost stitching, with mold scuffing and verdigris buildup. Mechanically excellent.
