MATCHING DWM LUGER WITH NO CHAMBER DATE (CURIO & RELIC). DWM LUGER P.08 399V 9MM MODERN; C&R; IMPORT Cal. 9mm. Attractive matching specimen with unnumbered wood base magazine, produced near the end of the DWM run before Mauser took over production. Standard nitro proofs with matching SN on bbl, frame, takedown latch, trigger, toggle and takedown plate. Spring tension is good. Included in this lot is one orig, unmarked fine commercial brown leather holster missing its belt loops. This weapon appears to be fully functional. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is fine except for an area of light to moderate pitting just above the left grip panel and at the high edges, at the top rear of the grip frame on either side. Trigger safety takedown latch and ejector all retain most of a shiny, straw finish. Toggle retention pins still retain most of their nitre blue finish. Bore is dark with some moderate pitting. Leather holster is quite fine, starting to flake on the exterior magazine pouch. Belt loops not present, but stitching holes are sound. It is unusual to find examples of this era with their orig commercial holsters. 43475-622 JWK55 (2,000-3,500)
