Imperial German DWM 1915 Luger P08 – 9mm (Matching Small Parts)
Up for sale is a highly desirable piece of military history: an Imperial German Luger P08 manufactured by DWM (Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken) in 1915. This World War I combat veteran features the iconic toggle-lock action and carries a beautiful, honest patina that tells the story of its century-long history.
This specimen stands out due to its high level of visible matching components, featuring the serial number 3131 (or matching last-two digits 31) stamped across multiple primary and small parts.

Condition Assessment:

Collector Notes:
Lugers dated 1915 represent the height of Imperial German wartime production before some manufacturing shortcuts were introduced later in the war. Finding one with this many matching small components—including the side plate and takedown lever—makes it an excellent addition to any WWI or military firearms collection.

WARNING
Why Buy from Guns.com?
PEACE OF MIND
Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
