Offered in this lot is a highly desirable DWM Luger chambered in 9mm, featuring the distinctive 1916/1920 markings and sought-after police sear safety configuration. This exceptional Weimar-era police pistol is an outstanding collector example, retaining all matching serial numbers including the original magazine. The 4-inch barrel features a sharp, reflective bore with strong rifling, and the pistol remains in excellent mechanical condition with the action operating smoothly and functioning properly. The finish presents beautifully with only minimal signs of wear, including light edge thinning on the high points consistent with careful handling and age. The original grips are in excellent condition with sharp, well-defined checkering and add to the impressive overall presentation of this fine Luger. Completing this remarkable package is a serialized leather holster matching the pistol, along with a matching Luger tool. The holster also bears the initials "HS," believed to have been added during its wartime capture and return by an American GI during World War II, adding a fascinating historical connection and provenance to this already desirable collector piece.
DWM Lugers with police modifications represent an important transitional period in German firearms history. Following World War I, many military Lugers remained in service and were reissued to German police forces during the Weimar Republic, where modifications such as the sear safety were added to meet police requirements. Examples retaining matching numbers, original accessories, and documented or attributed capture histories are highly prized by advanced collectors. The combination of a matching magazine, serialized holster, matching tool, police configuration, and potential World War II bring-back history makes this a particularly appealing and historically significant Luger package.
