Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken
(DWM) Model P 08 7.65mm (.30 cal)
Description: SOLD For sale is a German DWM (Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken) 1920 Luger Pistol, made between the two World Wars, circa the 1920s. After the Great War, the victors-imposed limits on German arms production, as well as the size of the military and many other things via the Treaty of Versailles. Two of these restrictions were 1) that the barrel length be less than 100mm, and 2) the caliber had to be less than 9mm. The first restriction appears to have had the aim to complicate the manufacturing process and necessitate retooling, however, the modular design of the Luger allowed the manufacturers to simply reduce the barrel length and continue as normal. The caliber restriction was rather ignored it seems. However, this period saw a great production of Luger pistols made for commercial use and many followed the stipulated pattern. This is one such specimen made for commercial use. It is chambered for the 7.65 Luger, fulfilling the sub-9mm requirement and it has a barrel length of 3-3/4 inches. Also meeting the Treaty’s expectations. The safety is marked “Gesichert”. The top of the toggle is marked with the “DWM” logo. “Crown/N” proof marks are found on the left and right side of the frame. Underneath the barrel is marked" MADE IN GERMANY" The overall condition is excellent ++ that was rated by an independant appraiser. The original blue finish is 98% intact. Straw colors are excellent. The markings are clear and legible. The serial numbers match to include the original magazine. The bore is clear and bright with sharp rifling. The hardwood, checkered stocks are in great condition. The action on this pistol is tight and strong. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic nearly 100 years old. That being said is recommended the buyer of this pisto shouldl take it to a competent gunsmith for test firing to ensure pistol is safe for use. Barrel is 3-¾ inches.
