Figure 18. Left slant view, 1910 DWM, serial number 8474. This 1910 DWM Luger entered the USA from the Ukraine completely covered with a low quality reblue. As it is extremely rare, I had Gale Morgan peel off the Ukraine reblue and restore the original rust blue finish and straw. He did an outstanding job.
