German P.08 Luger Police Pistol by DWM
serial #7247a, 9mm, 4'' barrel with a very good bore showing scattered light oxidation but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain about 95% arsenal refurbished rust blue with light wear on high edges and contact points, some mild toning to gray on the front strap, and some scattered previous pinprick pitting and light dings beneath the finish. The strawed parts retain good color mellowing to a gray patina with light oxidation staining, save for the ejector which remains strong, and the toggle pins and sear spring show vibrant fire blue. The checkered walnut grips are in very good condition with a small chip beneath the safety and at the top of the left panel, light wear, and scattered dings and handling marks; neither panel appears numbered. The DWM monogram remains crisp, the chamber area is unmarked, strong commercial proofs are on the receiver and breech, the barrel shows a tiny eagle stamp above the serial number and gothic letter inspection stamp below the number denoting replacement by a police depot, and the numbered parts are matching to the pistol. The pistol retains the standard open sights, and included is a bright-bodied aluminum-base magazine showing some scattered light handling marks and tiny flakes of the finish, the base numbered ''2 / 3385'' with a police ''(eagle) L''. A nice police Luger for the collector. (14B11728-890) {C&R} (1200/1800)
