The gun features a heavy barrel ( fat barrel, in Luger collectors' parlance) 100 mm long. The pistol bears serial number 22408 on all parts while the firing pin and safety have no serial number. According to official texts, only 50 examples of this variant were made.
On the left side of the grip we can see the special feature for which this gun is particularly sought after by collectors, namely the long 'cartridge counter' window, numbered from 1 to 7 that allowed the user to check the amount of rounds in the magazine. Let's start with the auction that included pistols from the Binker Collection: we anticipated that one of the highlights was lot 2249, which was the 'Cartridge Counter' version of a 1908 American Eagle Parabellum DWM Mod.
