No reviews have been written for this product.
Description
This DWM 1916 P.08 Luger is a classic military-pattern 9mm collector piece with strong historical appeal. The included note describes it as a 1916 military model reworked in 1920 for police-unit issue, with the pistol, leather holster, and two magazines reportedly brought back to the United States by a WWII U.S. Navy veteran. The visible markings include serial number 7720 and matching-style “20” numbered small parts.
The pistol shows honest age and service wear, with blue finish loss on high-contact areas, visible patina on the controls, and checkered wood grips showing darkened age and handling. The holster appears period-correct and adds strong display value, though the maker/date stamp is difficult to fully read from the photos.
This is a strong fit for the collector looking for a WWI-era DWM Luger with Weimar-era police rework interest, accessory value, and family-provenance appeal. The Pearl Harbor / Navy bring-back story should be presented as included provenance paperwork.
