Question on Lugers
A friend has a DWM 1907 Production Luger. This is from the SN which is in the mid 46XXX SN. It’s a 30 Mauser.
Incorrect, this is a 30 Luger not a Mauser
From what I have been able to find on line the gun was manufactured for commercial sales. Also from the few words written on the gun are in American. Like the extractor which when loaded and it acts as a load indicator the lettering is “Loaded” on the side.
The gun is in what I consider very good condition for a +100 year old gun. The barrel is very clean and the barrel assembly to receiver is very tight. All serial numbers match.
There is a slight pitting on the forward and rear portion of the grip but its minor. The smooth stocks have a very small chip on the rear lower and the grip safety spring is ether missing or broken. It moves but will not go out when the safety is off unless you pull it out.
The problem is with the holster/extendable stock. I have searched and can’t find anything like it. It’s not a Benke Thiemann retractable stock. The only markings on the metal of the stock is at the rear where it would fit against the shoulder and it says “Patents Pending”. The inner portion of the holster (darker color in the photos) is leather. The small button along the top is the switch for extending the stock.
My friend is in the process of selling the gun and I have been trying to find a price. From several sites the gun is worth +2000$ to the right person.
The following is some history on the 1907.
