position correctly polished bright. Matching full commercial pattern serial numbers on the frame and barrel, along with matching “12” partial serial
numbers visible on small parts including the extension. Fitted with a pair of checkered walnut grips and a nickel plated magazine with a correct
“Cal. 9m/m” marked walnut base.
CONDITION: Excellent, retaining 95% plus original blue finish and 85% plus original straw
colors with a few minor spots of thinning on the frame, limited minor edge wear, a few
minor specks of spotting, a few minor handling marks, along with crisp and bright markings.
The grips are also excellent with some minor compression wear to the well-defined checkering.
The magazine follower does not activate the breech block catch, otherwise mechanically
excellent. Overall a very attractive example of a DWM Model 1906 “American eagle” commercial Luger
pistol in desirable 9 mm Luger chambering!
Estimate: 5,000 - 7,500
