Berman Luger, 9mm cal. military auto pistol.  Serial #5173d, mfg. Germany by DWM.  Very good condition.  The pistol is matched except for the toggle assembly and magazines.  Has an Erfurt toggle.  Pistol has Crown/N commercial proofs, blank chamber and a pre-Nazi eagle on the right side of the slide.  4" barrel has a very good bore with light frosting, fixed military sights.  The barrel, frame and slide have 80% blue with high edge holster wear and finish wear to the sideplate and grip straps.  The Erfurt toggle has 70% blue with finish wear to the top.  Wood checkered grips are unnumbered and in good shape and the left grip has a chip at the safety lever.  Some pitting and rust to the frame underneath the grip panels.  Nice amount of straw remains on safety, trigger and takedown latch.  Two original era non-matching magazines are in good shape.  comes with 1934 issue leather belt holster that's in very good condition.  Includes unmarked takedown tool.  Interesting rig that was likely a WW1 pistol that was reworked during the build up in the 1930s.  C&R OK.
