Currency:CAD Category:Coins & Paper Money Start Price:550.00 CAD Estimated At:NA
serial #5541f, 9mm, 4” barrel with a good bore with light pitting but evident rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1915-dated pistol retain about 85% original blue with light wear on the high edges and contact points, wear on the gripstraps toning to brown, moderate thinning on the receiver, and some light handling marks. The strawed parts retain very good coloring mellowing lightly to a silvery patina, save the trigger which has worn near completely to a silvery patina with a fine freckling, and the toggle pins and sear spring show vibrant fire blue with light wear on the pins. The checkered walnut grips are in very good condition with general light wear and softening of the checkering, and both panels are numbered to the pistol. The metal markings are intact and clear with the DWM monogram on the toggle and Imperial German proofs on the receiver, the eagle firing proof on the barrel only partially visible, and all the numbered parts are matching to the pistol, save for the grooved firing pin which is numbered “34”; the rear toggle pin is unnumbered. The pistol retains the standard open sights. Included is a bright-bodied wood-base magazine in very good condition with spots of pinprick and light pitting, and the base is faintly numbered “6179u” above “+”. An attractive WWI-vintage P.08 Luger pistol. (14A11810-4) {C&R} (800/1200)
