Description:

DWM 1918/1920 PO8 LUGER WITH NAZI HOLSTER
1918 9mm DWM luger with later holster, with a 4 in. barrel and very good bore. Checkered walnut grips showing some wear from use at the bottom. Matching serial numbers; '6383', with '83' showing on most other parts, with 'DWM' monogram on top of toggle and dates '1918' and '1920' over the chamber suggesting the original 1918 frame was later arsenal reworked. Standard Imperial proofs on right side of receiver. All mechanisms still functional. The back strap of the frame is stamped with '6./J.R.5.33.' possibly referring to the 5th battalion of the 6th Jaegar regiment in the Imperial German Army. Accompanied by one stainless steel magazine. Sold with a fine Nazi era holster with a metal National eagle on the front and a stamp on the verso of 'Karl Bocker Waldbrol 1936', with space for an extra magazine. Light scratches yet overall very good. From 1919 on, DWM rebuilt luger frames with new or existing parts (including barrels) into complete pistols for sales to the civilian and export markets, and these sales helped restore DWM to solvency after the end of the war. It is likely that the 1920 stamp on this pistol shows it to be one that was reworked for this reason.
