Thanks, Jan, for an exellent vieuwing possibility of the 1921 DWM Luger! As I told You before, I had the great possibility, of getting the possibility of buying a Luger, also DWM, 1921, but not with the special marks you have mentioned. The serialnumber is 4418, and a suffixletter, that seems to be an open letter p.Under the barrel, where it hits the frame. The weapon further carries no submittal stamps, only Germany, placed on the left side on the frame. The weapon is in an exxellent condition, it seems to be never used at all. Maybe you or another much more knowing man than I am, I am just a beginner, can tell me more about this weapon??

It has beautiful wooden grips also., and a wooden magazine-knob. Messingman Thanks for your excellent photographs. Based on your photographs your Luger, serial number 4418p, was manufactured in about 1926 (1928 if r suffix) for the commercial market. I would describe it as a Alphabet DWM, in the “p” suffix serial range manufactured by DWM (BKIW) for the commercial market in an English speaking country.
Hence the “GERMANY” stamp.(see page 15 and 28-30, Weimar Lugers) Jan Download Attachment: 43.72KB Download Attachment: 77.88KB Download Attachment: 97.63KB Download Attachment: 57.29KB Download Attachment: 103.03KB Download Attachment: 97.63KB.
