This is my favourite gun ,as can be seen it's a 1920 coded P08 Luger manufactured by DWM, it's full matching numbers excluding the mag which is third reich issue "All Comercial model Lugers up to the end of the war in 1918 had 5-digit serial# and lazy c/N proofs. Production ended around sn74722. Late 1919 Commercial production started again, continuing the 5-digit serial numbering beginning around 74745. Guns have upright c/N proof. This is new designation 1920 DWM (formerly 1923 Commercial). Mid-1921 the commercial serial# series reached 92000. DWM converted commercial production to the military convention of numbering, four digits with letter suffix. Numbering began with letter suffix i , guns have upright c/N proofs. This is new designation Alphabet Commercial (formerly 1920 Commercial). its possible the gun was assembled during the last year of the war but not finished due to the war ending, then after the war it was stamped with 1920, to be sold commercially, so this gun (or the the parts) where made just before end of WW1,then it was finally assembled for sale to the small armed force that germany was allowed to have.
