(C) ALL MATCHING IMPERIAL GERMAN WORLD WAR I DWM P.08 LUGER SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL WITH CONVERTED REI

Lot # 1256 (Sale Order: 254 of 353)      

Standard configuration P.08 Luger manufactured by DWM in 1915 for the Imperial German military. The receiver bears the year of manufacture "1915" over the chamber, while the right side bears DWM arsenal proofs followed by an Imperial German reichsadler, which is also present on the barrel and breechblock. Toggle bears the intertwined "DWM" monogram. Major metal components are rust blued, while smaller components are strawed or nitre blued. Frame is mounted with 2-piece checkered walnut grips. All numbers match, including the grips and magazine. This example is accompanied by a rare converted Reichsrevolver holster, that bears an illegible ink-stamped unit mark on the interior of the closure flap. Body of holster is stamped "JULIUS ARNADE/ MOYS". CONDITION: Metal components retain large amounts of their original rust blue finish, exhibiting areas of cleaned pitting on the receiver that show through to gray patina, with some small scattered losses present on the grip straps that show through to gray patina. Barrel exhibits heavy pitting on the right side and bottom towards the muzzle, typically caused by a hole at the toe of the holster. Strawed components exhibit varying degrees of wear, with most retaining the majority of their finish, save for the takedown lever, which exhibits wear through to gray patina and age-related discoloration. Very bright bore, exhibiting some pitting towards the muzzle, some very light surface oxidation in the grooves, and strong rifling throughout. Grips exhibit some smoothing and a few nicks and minor impressions to the diamonds, but are otherwise fine. Holster is mostly malleable, exhibiting the aforementioned hole at the toe, several holes to the magazine pouch, losses to the loading tool pouch, a tear to the left belt loop, and is missing its flap closure buckle. A nice all matching example of a 1915 production DWM P.08 Luger that has undoubtedly been with its Reichsrevolver holster for some time. Accessories: Holster Barrel Length: 4" Caliber/Bore: 9x19mm Parabellum FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufacturer: DWM Model: P.08 Serial Number: 4108e
