except for that grip.... I was looking on GB and they seem like they can be had fairly cheap... I'll check Wanamachers too.
Besides the takedown lever, is the last two digits of the serial number marked anywhere else on the pistol? If not you may have an erzatz Luger, meaning a parts gun, which will detract from the value of the gun.
looks like a DWM commercial luger to me.
There are other places, I just don't know where all to look...
Are there any markings in front of the DWM scroll? Chances are who ever liberated the gun is the one who carved their initials in it, poor attempt at what is known as "trench art".
Nope no markings in front of the DWM scroll..
It's chambered in 30 luger which kinda sucks since it's relatively hard to find these days, and when you do find it it's expensive. Looks like I can shoot it based on what the guys at lugerforum.com said...
They also said it was likely from late 1925 or very early 1926 based on the cursive o under the serial number.. Those guys have identification of lugers down to a science... all kinds of databases and stuff... really interesting piece of history though.
Go to Old Western Scrounger http://www.ows-ammo.com/catalog/ don't just look in their catalog, give them a call, they've got all kinds of stuff.
