WW1 German DWM P.08 Artillery Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol, dated 1917, #695h, 9mm, 8" barrel, rust blued finish, straw-finished small parts, micro-adjustable tangent rear sight and micro-adjustable inverted "V" front sight, rear stock lug, Imperial German proof marks on right side of slide, all visible numbers match except the extractor, checkered wood grips, one nickel-plated magazine with unmarked wood base. Condition is very good, retaining approx. 75% of its original rust blued finish, with a thinning mottled finish on the barrel, holster wear and light pitting on sides of muzzle and front sight blade, high edgewear on front of frame, side rails, and rear frame ears, trigger guard edges, top of slide, and sides of toggle. Sideplate has heavier wear to the side and edges. Straw parts are very nice showing minimal wear and light use. Gripstraps are very strong with just a few light specks of age. There is some wear on the high edges of the stock lug, and a tiny spot of holster wear around the front of the mag well area. Grips are very nice with a few scattered impressions and dings, and some flattened diamonds. Grip screws are mostly brown with good slots. Bore is dark, but has strong lands and grooves. Action, hold open, and safety all function properly. Magazine is very nice, with a clean body showing a little age and light use, and very nice unmarked wood base; the retaining pin still showing a little fire blue. Est.: $1,800-$2,800. (C&R/PPT)
