Iconic Pre-WORLD WAR II Era DWM Semi-Auto 7.65mm GERMAN LUGER C&R Pistol
Smaller Caliber Forced Under the TREATY OF VERSAILLES
Here we present a C&R Interwar Era DWM Luger Pistol, made circa the 1920s by DWM (Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken) 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. There are many variations in this field of collecting, but relatively few major changes in overall design from beginning to end. 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” proof mark is found throughout the pistol. The Crown over N is a German pre-World War II 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”.
The barrel is what is commonly called a "1920 Commercial". 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.
The overall condition is fine. Nicely refinished. The numbers match. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grips are solid with sharp checkering.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
