German Model 1920 Police/Military Luger Pistol by DWM
serial #1982b, 9mm, 4'' barrel with a very good bore showing light oxidation in the grooves but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1920-dated military pistol retain about 85-90% arsenal restored blue with light wear on high edges and contact points, the gripstraps toning to a gray-brown patina, and some scattered light handling marks and hints of previous pinprick pitting. The strawed parts have toned largely to a pewter-gray patina with light freckling and remnants of color at the edges, and the sear spring retains vibrant fire blue. The checkered hardwood grips are in very good condition with light chipping and flattening of points, and neither panel are numbered. The metal markings are largely intact and clear with DWM monogram on the toggle, soft Weimar-era dove-style waffenamts, the rear toggle is numbered ''52'', and the remaining numbered parts are matching to the pistol, including the grooved firing pin, and the hold-open is restamped to match. The pistol retains the standard open sights and included is a bright-bodied wood-base magazine showing a crack through the base, renumbered ''1982''. A solid example of these refurbished Luger pistols, issued to the German military and police after WWI. (14A11728-891) {C&R} (1200/1800)
