GUN FALL 2017
The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
PRIME DWM MODEL 1900 PROTOTYPE CALIBER 7.65.DWM190010050 B7.65MODERN; C&RCal. 7.65. 4-3/4" bbl. Rust blue finish overall. 2-pc checkered walnut grips, with straw finished trigger, lever, and takedown latch. This unusual example exhibits a "B" suffix at SN and is made without and traditional proof marks. These rare prototype examples are believed to have been manufactured for ballistic testing and for tool room use and never for sale. Examples have been observed in both 9mm and the 7.65 cartridge. Careful inspection has revealed matching numbers and several assembly markings but no proofs of any sort have been found, with exception of wood base mag that has an unknown marking. CONDITION: Very fine overall with most rust blue finish remaining, with typical edge wear at high points at sight, leading edges at trigger guard and slight muzzle wear. Bore is good, however, somewhat frosted. Grips are excellent with sharp checkering. All visible numbers found to be matching, other than unnumbered mag. Straw finish remains strong with slight staining on trigger and thinning straw on trigger face and mid region of safety. 52700-21 TDW (4,500-6,500)
