DWM Luger Factory Cut Away 30 Luger
Factory cut away of a DWM Pistole 08 Luger, chambered in .30 Luger (also known as 7.65 Parabellum). Factory cutaways are often made from the first batch of official production or pre production as demonstration models to government officials and other potential clients looking to make a contract with the manufacturer. These firearms were made to demonstrate how a new firearm functions to officials as well as armorers and factory staff. Being a cutaway or "Demonstrator's Model', this has an extremely low serial number of 5 and is extremely rare and hard to find. This specific example is a Deutsche Waffen und Munitionfabriken (DWM) P08. The P08 was adopted in 1908 by the Imperial German Army as its first official semi automatic handgun. Numbers on back of the toggle and the front of the frame are matching, making this firearm all matching. Magazine is the correct early version with wooden tabs instead of plastic like WWII Lugers. DWM toggle marking is deep and unfaded. No import marks. Minor spotting on back of frame from handling. Mirror bright bore in pristine condition with sharp, crisp, and deep rifling. No pitting or rust in bore or anywhere on the gun. Bolt face is clean and shiny with no evidence of being fired. Deep bluing in almost perfect condition. Beautiful checkering on the walnut grips and toggle knobs. Grips are in like new condition. Appears almost untouched and in mint condition. An absolute must have for any serious Luger collection. Must see photos. SN 5
