A John Martz “Baby” Luger built on a 1913 DWM P08 platform and chambered in 9mm. This compact custom conversion features a shortened barrel and slide, satin rust-blue finish, straw-colored accents, and finely fitted checkered walnut grips.
Built on a 1913-dated DWM commercial Luger foundation, this John Martz P08 “Baby” is a compact custom interpretation of the classic Luger design. The shortened barrel and slide assembly give it a distinctive, well-balanced profile while preserving the unmistakable lines of the original platform.
The pistol features a deep satin rust-blue finish with straw-colored accents on the controls, creating a refined contrast true to the character of early Lugers. Finely checkered walnut grip panels are carefully fitted to the frame, adding warmth and visual balance to the blued steel construction.
As a Martz-built example, the piece reflects careful handwork throughout, from the shaping and proportions to the overall execution of the miniature configuration. The result is a thoughtfully reworked 1913 DWM Luger that brings together historic design and custom craftsmanship in a compact format.
