4" barrel in 9mm caliber. Manufactured by DWM for the German Army in the first World War. Manufactured from 1913 to 1918. This example is dated 1916 on bridge, a nice mid-war production, most of which saw hard use. This was probably an arsenal rebuilt police gun as it has two miss-matched numbers, 7870 and 1765. Most small parts correspond to both numbers with few exceptions. Texas export stamp on back. 30% original blue turning patina. Grips are not numbered. Aluminum bottom magazine numbered 3528. Very good bore. Original grips are good to very good. Traces of straw colors. Unit marked LIR387 inside grip strap.
