POLICE Marked DWM “SNEAK” Semi-Auto P.08 GERMAN LUGER C&R Matching HOLSTER
9mm Caliber WaA66 Proofed w/MATCHING HOLSTER & MAGS
Here we present a C&R German “Sneak” Police Marked P.08 German Luger Pistol with matching Holster and Magazines, made circa 1929-30 by DWM in Berlin, Germany. Basing his design off Hugo Borchardt’s seminal C93, Georg Luger successfully brought Borchardt’s work to practical fruition. While finding buyers for the C93 seemed an exercise in futility, the new Luger Pistol found many countries eager to test it and even adopt it. There are many variations in this field of collecting, but relatively few major changes in overall design from beginning to end. The Luger is certainly one of the most iconic firearms in history, made so by its association with Germany during both World Wars.
This is a nice, all original, Early Third Reich era Sneak Luger that was produced in the 1929-33 time frame. These are typically termed “Sneak” Lugers based on the lack of any identifying manufactures markings and proofmarks, which the German Military did to disguise their early rearmament efforts. This example has the correct blank chamber and blank front toggle assembly. The right side of the barrel extension has the early single “WaA66” Waffenamt proof indicating rework at the Mauser factory in 1929/30 along with multiple single “Crown/N” commercial proofs. It has the standard extractor and safety markings. The Crown over N is a German pre-war proof mark used before April 1, 1940.
The overall condition is near fine. Armory refurbished and with the police rework sear safety. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with good rifling. The grips are in nice condition. The numbers match throughout. Though the number on the magazine base is not a serial number, it does match the rack number on the front of the pistol grip. The spare magazine likewise has that matching number and each magazine is numbered 1 and 2. The holster is dated “1929” and is likewise marked with “L.P. 288”, so this is a matching set.
