Rare DWM Swiss Commercial Contract Abercrombie And Fitch 7.65mm / 30 Caliber Luger Pistol S/N 2860iXX

Description:
Rare DWM Swiss Commercial Contract Luger Pistol

7.65mm / 30 Caliber Luger
Barrel marked "Abercrombie & Fitz Co New York, Made In Switzerland" (VERY RARE!!!)
Only 51 made in this caliber and only 100 total made in the Swiss contract
Toggle marked DWM
4 3/4" barrel
Swiss Cross in sunburst emblazoned on receiver bridge which indicates commercial contract
Made by Federal Arms Co in Switzerland
06/20 commercial model
Lower position thumb safety is polished (not blued), safe is in the upper position
The extractor is the late type and marked GELADEN on the left side
Checkered walnut grips and left side is slotted for the grip safety in excellent condition
Nickel plated magazine has wood base with metal insert and all are properly unmarked
First batch "i" model after 92,000 serial number run
Early post WW1 manufacture
95%+ of original finish
Bore is excellent and bright
All matching numbers
Very nice action and trigger, appears fired little if any
These early Swiss commercial Lugers were originally intended for sale in Switzerland, however with the huge early demand in the US for Luger pistols in the 1907-1915 time frame, DWM diverted some production from their Swiss contract through their US agent to the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. of New York. At this time, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. in New York was probably the largest retailer of outdoor sporting goods and equipment in the US.
This scarce Luger has the early style short frame with the 1906 style grip safety, no stock lug and is correctly marked GELADEN on the extractor
We have seen pistols of this quality selling upwards of $20,000 + (we've included a pic of an auciton for another one that sold for more than $21K)
We are also including a reproduction 197 page Abercrombie & Fitch Co 1920 catalog reprinted and bound by Cornell Publications (specializes in vintage and antique gun catalogs and manuals)
This fine & rare Luger from a private collection is being offered for the first time for sale at this amazingly attractive price
Serial number 2860iXX

SOLD
