This is a remarkable DWM 1906/20 Swiss Luger Pistol in 7.65mm Parabellum, manufactured by Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) in Berlin, Germany. The serial number 528i, with the "i" suffix, places this pistol in the post-World War I commercial production period, likely assembled in the 1920s for the Swiss market, as these were Model 1906 Swiss Lugers reintroduced for commercial sales (). The Luger, designed by Georg Luger, is an iconic toggle-lock, recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol, first adopted by the Swiss military in 1900. The 1906/20 variant, featuring the Swiss Cross in Sunburst chamber marking, reflects Switzerland’s early adoption of the Luger and its continued use through domestic production at Waffenfabrik Bern. This model’s historical significance lies in its role as one of the first widely adopted semi-automatic pistols, showcasing German engineering precision and Switzerland’s commitment to quality firearms for military and civilian use. The 7.65mm Parabellum cartridge, a bottlenecked round, was known for its accuracy and reliability, making this pistol a favorite among collectors and shooters.
This example is in very fine condition as refinished, with a high-quality blue finish and straw-finished small parts (trigger, safety, latches) complemented by vibrant fire blue screws. The checkered walnut grips are in excellent condition, and the proper Swiss magazine matches the pistol’s serial number, adding to its collectible value. The bore is brilliant, indicating minimal use and excellent care, and the pistol is mechanically fine, ensuring reliable function. The Swiss Cross in Sunburst crest on the chamber and DWM monogram on the toggle are crisp, with all markings and legends legible. All visible numbers match, confirming the pistol’s originality.
