IN 96% VERY SHARP ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY RARE AND SIGNIFICANT LUGER PISTOL FROM WWI. THIS IS A 1913 DATED DWM MADE GERMAN ARMY LUGER, IT IS ALL MATCHING THE MAGAZINE. WHAT REALLY SETS IT APART IS THAT IS IS UNIT MARKED ON THE FRONT GRIPSTRAP TO THE 1st BAVARIAN RESERVE FOOT ARTILLERY REGIMENT. THE PISTOL IS ALL MATCHING AND THE BORE IS EXCELLENT AS WELL.
THIS IS A VERY EARLY 1913 LUGER AS IT WAS MANUFACTURED WITHOUT THE STOCK LUG AND HAD NO HOLD OPEN INSTALLED EITHER. ANY 1914 OR EARLIER LUGER IS RARE, THE PRODUCTION FIGURES WERE LOW IN PEACE TIME AND NOT MANY SURVIVED THE WAR. TO FIND A PRISTINE EXAMPLE SUCH AS THIS IS A REAL FIND LET ALONE UNIT MARKED.
