DWM Model 1908 Commercial Luger Pistol
serial #57156, 9mm, 4'' barrel with a bright very good plus bore with some light oxidation but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain about 95% original blue with light wear on high edges, areas of light thinning toning to gray-brown under bright light, and scattered fine freckling and minor handling marks. The strawed parts have largely toned to a silvery-gray patina with remnants of color at the edges and some gray freckling, and the sear spring and toggle pins retain vibrant fire blue. The checkered walnut grips are in very good plus condition with general light wear, and the right panel numbered ''78'' with the left panel appearing unmarked. The DWM monogram on the toggle remains crisp, crisp ''(crown) / N'' proofs are stamped on the toggles, barrel, and receiver, and the numbered parts are matching to the pistol; the un-grooved firing pin is unnumbered. The pistol retains the standard open sights, no hold-open system is present, the takedown lever spring is loose allowing the lever to easily be removed, and included is a bright-bodied wood-base magazine showing light flaking on the body, the base numbered ''2248 / l / +''. A nicely preserved example of these more desirable commercial 9mm pistols. (14B11728-892) {C&R} (1200/1800)
