1920 DWM Luger (first one)

samson1150 · 11-12-2017, 11:27 PM

I just purchased a DWM Luger, marked with 1920 on the receiver ring, and is all matching except for an aluminum based s/42 magazine that came with it. It is in 9m/m Luger, with an excellent bore, which was brought back from WWII.

My first question would be, is this Luger a commercial one manufactured for the Police, or would it be made for the military.

I will get the serial number and gather more information, but was curious what I have. I was told it was one of the most common Lugers.

Is there some links someone can point me to, so I may begin learning about its' history.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated by a an old guy that just bought his first one.

Thank you for your help and considerations.
