DWM 1900 LUGER, US TEST TRIAL, PRESENTATION CASE WITH AMMO. DWM LUGER 6409 30 MODERN; C&R Cal. .30 Luger. Beautiful M1900 Luger, one of approximately one thousand pistols, in the uncontested 6100-7100 serial range, used in the US military test trials. Standard M1900 American Eagle Luger with 4.75" barrel, having drift adjustable fire blued front sight and fixed rear sight. American Eagle boldly stamped over chamber. Intertwined DWM on middle toggle length. Full serial number under barrel and repeated on forward frame. Last two digits are matched on the take-down lever (right side of axle), sideplate, trigger, barrel extension, all major components of the toggle train, grip safety, and on each of the walnut checkered grips. Correct tinned magazine with an unmarked walnut plug. Beautifully presented in reproduction presentation case, covered in black pebbled leather with nickeled reinforcements and hinges. Lined in forest green baize, compartmentalized for pistol, spare magazines, ammunition, and cleaning rod. Included is a full box of period ammunition marked "50 Patronen No. 471 zur Selbstlade-Pistole Kal. 7,65mm 'Parabellum'". CONDITION: Fabulous period restoration, now with at least 98-99% rust blue, whose slightly darker hue is the only clue to the touch-up, as no suggestion of any metal reworking. Most small parts with original finish. Takedown lever and and fire blued grip screws enhanced to match the balance of the pistol. Bright bore with sharp rifling. Excellent original magazine. Perfect manual mechanics. Presentation case is virtually new. Near excellent box of ammunition. A very difficult Luger to find, this one presenting beautifully, and a must for the serious collector of US marshal arms. 52527-4 LMA (6,500-9,500) W/CASE & AMMO
