Lugerman, Inc .45 ACP Model 1907
Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol with Extra
Magazine - Serial no. 107S, 45 ACP cal., 4
1/2 inch round bbl., bright finish, walnut grips. Introduced in 2018, the Lugerman 1907 follows
the original design for the 1907 Test Trials Luger. The 1907 Trials were DWM’s final attempt to claim the win in the
U.S. Army’s exhaustive search for a semi-automatic pistol, and their only attempt to build and sell the Luger in the
.45 ACP cartridge. The Browning-designed 1911 famously took the win in those trials, and the original DWM .45 ACP Lugers
are the ultimate rarities in military handguns. Fixed sights, with a blank chamber, “LMI” monogram on the toggle, “Luger 1907”
on the right side of the receiver, and the Lugerman address on the right side of the frame. “LOADED” and “SAFE” markings are
present on the extractor and above the safety lever, with a distinctive flat-bottomed triggerguard, elongated trigger, checkered grips
and bright magazine with hardwood base. The extractor and magazine
are unnumbered, otherwise the pistol is matching numbered in
the “commercial” pattern, including inside the grips.
Included with the pistol is an extra magazine, properly sized
takedown tool, and an Apache-brand transport case.
CONDITION: Excellent overall, with a few light handling
marks on the original bright stainless finish. Aside from a small
mended chip in the left grip panel near the safety switch, grips are also
excellent. The hold open is very stiff on release, otherwise mechanically excellent.
Estimate: 6,000 - 9,000
