DWM Luger

howa5503
Can anyone help me identify and get some idea of the value of a DWM Luger P08. Chamber marked "1911" and unit marked on the front strap "R.H.4.1.5". I have an extra magazine and a brown holster- can't identify any markings on any of those however.

    I work with a woman who brought in a Luger for me to see. I know little to nothing about Lugers so I thought I'd see which Luger expert could help me out today. It has a 4" barrel, the frame, barrel, trigger, alum. base magazine,toggle are all marked 6380 or 80. The bolt is marked 46. There is an "N" with a crown over it on the left side of the chamber. The top of the chamber is blank. Stock lug on back of frame. Safety marked "GEISCHEIRT" the extractor is marked "GELEDEN" Nicely worn wood grips, a bunch of little parts marked 80. I'd say it's in 80% condition. and all original. some minor freckling and minor pitting/freckling/blue wear by the muzzle. Now for the good part! Her father brought this back from WWII and she has the letter/certificate signed and dated 3/8/46 stating he could bring this luger back (serial# listed in pencil on the typed form). The letter also states he can bring some brass knuckles with him too! She thinks the knuckles are still with his stuff! The certificate also says at the bottom, "(NOTE: This form used in lieu of AG USFET Form NO.33, unavailable)
    Any ideas on which variation of Luger this is? and I'd like fair value range as she would like me to buy it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ed

    Need quality photos of the Luger for a accurate assessment of value.

    Instructions for posting photos to the forum are at this link.

    The regimental marking on the grip most probably identifies the Luger as used by the 4th Reserve Hussar regiment.

    howa5503,

    Welcome to the Gunbroker forums!

    You really need to make several sharp properly lit photographs of the overall (both sides) and details of the features and marks (stamps) on each location. Without photographs there is very little we can do but WAG.

    Read the link as stated and if you have questions either post or e-mail me.

    Best.
