c1919 mfr. WEIMAR GERMAN DWM 7.65x21mm Commercial LUGER Pistol C&R
Iconic German Made Semi-Automatic Pistol
Here we present a Weimar Republic Era Commercial DWM Semi-Automatic P.08 German Luger Pistol, made circa 1919 by DWM in Berlin, Germany. Basing his design off Hugo Borchardt’s seminal C93, Georg Luger successfully brought Borchardt’s work to practical fruition. While finding buyers for the C93 seemed an exercise in futility, the new Luger Pistol found many countries eager to test it and even adopt it. The Luger is certainly one of the most iconic firearms in history, made so by its association with Germany during both World Wars. The Crown over N is a German pre-war proof mark used before April 1, 1940. The "N" indicates that the gun has been proofed with "nitro" or smokeless powder. The top of the toggle is marked “DWM”.
Most of these Commercial Lugers were chambered in 7.65mm Parabellum. The reason for this is that immediately after World War I the German government was forced under the Treaty of Versailles to dispose of their 9mm pistols, so they re-barreled them in the smaller 7.65mm parabellum and large numbers were sold off commercially and to foreign governments. Also, manufacturers such as DWM weren’t allowed to produce 9mm weapons, thus the smaller 7.65mm chambering. But, as World War II approached, Germany wasn’t really worried about following the treaty, thus production began again producing the 9mm pistols.
The overall condition is near fine. Original finish. The numbers match. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The grips are in great shape with still sharp checkering. The front sight blade/bead is a replacement. The wooden magazine base is cracked but still works.
