This is an excellent WWI 1916 dated Imperial German Luger that was manufactured by the DWM factory with two matching magazines, a black leather holster, and take down tool. The chamber is correctly dated 1916 with the DWM monogram on the front toggle. It has the standard Imperial Crown/script letter proofs next to the Imperial Eagle proof on the left side of the barrel extension. The Imperial Eagle proof is also marked on the top of the barrel and left side of the breechblock. Military style serial number placement with the full serial number on the major components with the last two digits on the various smaller parts. It is fitted with checkered walnut grips and is complete with a two WWI nickel-plated magazines with the wooden base; both are matching and are marked: "5866/m" and "5866/m/+". It comes with a black leather holster that is marked "MAX PHILLIPE/????/1916". It comes with a late takedown tool with a single script proof and a Police * proof.
Excellent with 99% original blue finish overall with a hint of minor edge wear. The smaller parts retain 95% of their original straw colors overall. The grips are in excellent condition with nice sharp distinct checkering overall with only a couple of small handling marks. The holster is in very good condition; originally it was a brown holster that was later dyed all black on the outside. It shows only minor handling marks and light scratches in a few places with tight stitching and clear markings inside the flap. As noted, this exceptional Luger has all matching numbers to include both magazines.
