Originally manufactured by DWM as a Model 1906 Commercial Luger, this example has been professionally cutaway to highlight the interior operation of multiple components and assemblies in use while a Luger is firing. Metal components have been nicely reblued (prior to removal of cutaway material), and strawed components have been reheated. The frame is mounted with 2-piece checkered walnut cutaway grips. Wood magazine bottom is stamped "GERMANY". Pistol is accompanied by a generic wood case, repurposed from a picture box. CONDITION: Very good, as refinished, with major metal components retaining virtually all of their reapplied finishes. Grips exhibit smoothing, with a crack present on the left panel. An attractive display piece for the Luger enthusiast's collection.
CORRECTION: This lot is a professional non-factory cutaway and is considered a firearm.
