luger
Have a German Luger with the DWM on the toggel. The S/N is 77xx and the only stamps on are "Made in Germany" and the proof mark. I need more information on the gun please. Blue book lists it as being made in 1900. The cal. is .30. On the front of sight is a "D". There is a loop mark below the S/N on the front of the fram. The number 14 is on the rear of the gun just below the rear sight. This is all that I can find on the gun. Should I be looking for more marks and is there a sight some place for just Lugers?

Anybody know for sure if 1900 DMC American Eagle Luger made a presintation luger (nickel,with gold plating on the trigger,top of the toggle mag. releise,safty)
Of course I'm out of my mind. It's dark and scary in there.0 -
No. Likely the person has an Italian manufactured gun chambered in 9mm Luger. Still worth a look, though.

Italian Luger?
Not that I ever heard of.
I guess a tv reporter might mistake a Glisenti or Brixia for a Luger, what with the slant grip and naked barrel.
Or, as nmyers says, a Beretta, Tanfoglio, Bernardelli, etc. in the caliber.0 -
There have been replicas made in a number of countries, including the U.S. Not sure about Italy, though?
1944 was when the Second World War was raging in Italy. To the best of my knowledge, the only handguns made during that timeframe. Were the various Beretta's. They were chambered for the .32 & .380 cartridges.
Perhaps the person selling selling the pistol is confusing one of the Berettas made for the German's, with a Luger? I have run across this type of misconception many times in the past. To a person unfamiliar with military handguns, all handguns are Lugers.[:D]0 -
Gilsenti 1910 was used in WW1 & WW2. It looks a little like a Luger & is a 9MM, but not the 9MM a Luger uses. Much lower power as is blow-back IRCC. 0 -
This is what a Italian Glisenti pistol looks like. Got the photo off the net. They also used a earlier similar version called a Brixia, which is very uncommon.
