The markings and configuration are correct for a 1906 commercial example. The chamber bears the American Eagle crest, the toggle shows the DWM scroll monogram, and the front of the frame is export-marked "GERMANY." DWM, American Eagle, and "Germany" stamps are present on this gun.
Mechanically, it uses the classic Luger short-recoil, knee-joint toggle-locked system with the 1906 coil mainspring. It includes both a manual thumb safety and a grip safety. This commercial pattern does not have a stock lug.
The pistol features an approximately 4.75 in tapered barrel chambered in .30 Luger. Sighting is via a fixed V-notch rear integral to the rear toggle and a drift/pinned front blade, providing a clear, traditional sight picture.
Finish and furniture are period-correct: rust-blued major parts with straw-colored small parts and checkered walnut grips. Capacity is 8+1, and the included detachable Luger magazine has the circular base-button floorplate typical of the era. The last two digits of the serial are repeated on small parts, consistent with DWM assembly practice.
