Product Description
Post-WORLD WAR I Era DWM 7.65x21mm GERMAN LUGER C&R Pistol .30 Semi-Auto
TREATY OF VERSAILLES Compliant Pistol
Here we present a C&R 1920 DWM Commercial Luger Pistol, made circa 1920 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.
The “Crown over N” proof mark is found throughout the pistol. The Crown over N is a German pre-World War II proof mark used before April 1, 1940. The “N” indicates that the gun has been proofed with “nitro” or smokeless powder. The top of the toggle is marked “DWM” for the maker.
The barrel is what is commonly called a “1920 Commercial”. The reason for this is that immediately after World War I the German government was forced under the Treaty of Versailles to dispose of their 9x19mm pistols, so they re-barreled them in the smaller 7.65mm parabellum and large numbers were exported commercially.
The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The grips are solid, showing wear. The numbers match throughout with the exception of the magazine.
