A DWM Artillery Luger from 1917, serial 6625H, in 9mm with the 8-inch barrel that marks the artillery model. The pistol has been professionally refinished and the supplier grades it excellent on that basis; the grips show handling wear. It is sold used as a 1917-dated piece.

Refinished Lugers appeal to the Delaware collector who wants the long-barreled artillery configuration on the wall or at the range and does not mind that the metal has been redone, since the refinish is disclosed and the mechanical condition is described as excellent. The 8-inch barrel gives the long sight radius these pistols are known for. Because this is a cartridge handgun in 9mm it goes through a Delaware dealer: the buyer needs the handgun qualified purchaser permit, which runs two years once issued, or a current carry license, and completes Form 4473 and a background check with photo ID. Ask for photos of the refinish before buying if originality matters to you.
