1928 Dutch Navy DWM Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol, #268, 9mm, 4'' barrel, blue finish, straw small parts, factory checkered walnut grips, correct tin-plated unmarked wraparound body wood-based magazine. Chamber area blank, toggle marked DWM, thumb safety area marked ''Rust'' with curved arrow pointing to the Safe position. Considered quite rare by collectors with only 1484 mfg'd. These were essentially a standard 1914 Commercial proofed Luger with Dutch language safety markings, often incorrectly categorized as a Dutch Commercial model. Condition is very good to near fine retaining approx. 85% original finish with losses to front and backstrap, high edges, at muzzle, forward lugs of frame, and highpoints of sideplate. Grips with light to just moderate flattening. Action is crisp, bore with some frosting in grooves. Small parts show last two digits of serial number. Est.: $2,000-$3,000. (C&R)
