DWM 1920 COMMERCIAL NAVY

Historic pedigree and identifying details

This example carries serial number 6303K and was manufactured circa the 1920s as an export model — confirmed by its visible “Germany” markings. That export designation matters to collectors: it ties the pistol to a specific production run and international distribution pathway. The listing reference PR70266 provides a traceable inventory ID for provenance and acquisition records.

Condition, features, and tactical considerations

Described as being in excellent condition following a professional refinish, the metal surfaces present clean lines and preserved controls suitable for display or safe, supervised firing. The grips show a fair amount of handling wear, which adds character and tells a preservation story; for collectors, that balance between original handling marks and solid refinishing is often desirable.

Barrel and caliber

The pistol is chambered in 30 caliber with a 6″ barrel. Historically, .30-caliber cartridges offered a good balance of velocity and manageable recoil for the era — effective for target work and defensive utility within expected engagement distances of the period. Modern shooters and curators should consult a qualified gunsmith before firing historical ammunition or modern equivalents.
