SOLD DBL1 DWM 1908 1st ISSUE GERMAN ARMY P08 LUGER NICE!

IN 96% ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A 1ST ISSUE GERMAN ARMY 1908 LUGER THAT IS ALL MATCHING AND WITHOUT THE HOLD OPEN. THIS IS ONE OF THE ORIGNAL 25,000 LUGERS THAT WENT INTO GERMAN ARMY SERVICE AND IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 1909. THE PISTOL WAS ONE OF THE VERY LARGE 25% THAT WAS UNIT MARKED HOWEVER ALMOST CERTAINLY PRIOR TO WW1 THE UNIT MARKINGS WERE SCRUBBED AND WERE BLUED OVER. THIS ALMOST CERTAINLY OCCURED PRIOR TO THE HOLD OPEN REQUIRMENT AND WOULD INDICATE THE WEAPON WAS RE-ASSIGNED TO ANOTHER UNIT FOR SOME REASON. THESE FIRST MILITARY LUGERS WERE HEAVILY USED AND TO FIND ONE WITH ANY CONDITION IS INDEED A REAL FIND. THIS IS PART OF AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF WW1 ERA LUGERS WE HAVE JUST OBTAINED.
