Wonderful piece you have. I too collect Imperial German (mostly aviation), but I do have an early 1914 DWM Luger, unit marked to a member of the 20th Dragoon Staff Guard with 100% matching numbers and in about 97%+ condition.

Thanks for that, IMPERIAL QUEST i have to admit to never owning the iconic Luger pistol, i would love one, however the U.K.s draconian gun laws make it hard if not impossible to own a modern working firearm, it either has to be a deactivated weapon i.e. butchered or termed as having obsolete ammunition, luckily the revolver fell into the class, so is as original..

Yes, I know a few UK collectors who have expressed the same dismay to me in conversation; what a shame. At least you were able to get that beautiful revolver for your collection!

I tend to lean more towards Imperial items myself and I look
forward to seeing more in the Imperial forum.

Thanks for sharing these with us.

nice collection steve!

Whilst I am not an Imperial period collector, I must say that you have some fantastic items. WWI helmets always display well I feel and the colour of the tunic in the initial photograph is beautiful, incredible bearing in mind how old it is. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Regards

Carl
