9/3/20 - This is a rare DWM model 1900 luger with American Eagle crest on the chamber. This is the first production model of this variation, made in or around 1900 with early dish toggle. These pistols went to the US retail market and the manufacturers at DWM realized that nation-based crests increased sales of these lugers, so that is why you find the American Eagle over the chamber. This is also why you see GERMANY marked on the frame, denoting these were exported for commercial sale. This particular gun is all matching and has retained about 85-90% of its original bluing. There is muzzle wear and high edge wear on the frame, slide, and especially on the side plate. Spotty wear on the front strap. One small area of wear at the top of the back strap. Small area of surface scratching on the left side of the frame. There are areas of light pitting and spotty dark oxidation on the barrel and on the very front edge of the right side of the frame. Most of the strawed finish is still visible on the small parts. Excellent grips and proper un-numbered magazine. The bore is fairly worn - weak rifling.
