Built by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM), this Pistole 08 carries the correct DWM script monogram on the center toggle link and a chamber date of 1916, placing it squarely in the World War I production period of the German Empire.
It uses the short-recoil, toggle-locked action with a manual safety and is fitted with fixed iron sights: a front blade and a V-notch rear on the toggle link. The service-correct barrel measures approximately 4 inches (100 mm).
The pistol features a carbon steel frame with a rust blued finish and checkered walnut grip panels. A stock lug and lanyard loop are present, consistent with the P.08 Army service configuration.
Mechanical details are complemented by an excellent bore with sharp rifling. Matching last-two-digit part numbers are observed on small components. Capacity is 8+1 in 9mm Luger. This example includes two magazines and a leather hard-shell holster.
