This is a full-size P.08 Luger chambered in 9mm Luger with a stated 4-inch barrel and an 8+1 capacity. It is built on a steel frame with a blued finish, matching the blued slide and overall blued finish color.
Markings include the DWM monogram on the toggle link and the chamber/receiver ring dated "1916". Proof/inspection-style stamped marks are present but not fully legible.
