My 1917 DWM Luger

[prinz eugen]

I need some opinion about this gun.Every comment is welcome. Do anyone has original holster for luger?

lep ti je pistolj,cini mi se da su korice ciscene,da li je naknadno bruniran i da li svi delovi imaju iste dve cifre na sebi,u ovom slucaju 11?

Korice sam ja kupio nove jer je vlasnik pistolja dao napravit od jelenskog roga rucke. Svi djelovi imaju br.11, bruniran je ali tako lose da se skoro i nevidi.

Nice rework, you probably know that your Luger was originally an Artillery Luger. The notch on the front of the receiver was where the rear of the original artillery's rear sight sat in. IIRC the German's were forced to convert/destroy most of the Artillery Luger's at the end of WW I.

Samnev thank you for info. What means S.A.6.F.

Samnev thank you for info. What means S.A.6.F.

That marking on the grip is usually a regimental marking but I don't have any idea what it might be. Perhaps one of the board members will chime in. If not I would put another thread on the board asking what unit the the S.A.6.F designates.
Good luck in you quest,
Sam

It could be Weimar period police, Schutzpolizei Aurich or it could be Imperial army marking, Feldsignal Abteilung Nr. 6. I have no idea what the F indicates.

[prinz eugen]

Habicht thanks for that. I hope that some one know what means S.A.6.F.113

[ph3s]

S.A. as an Imperial marks stands for Feldsignal-Abteilung

So it would be something like Field Signal Department No.6

F one of the battalions or Columns within the department

Weapon No. 113

Since the marking indicates a communications unit the F may represent a Fernsprecher group within that unit.
