Manufactured prior to World War II, before the German Navy standardized their Lugers to match the Army safety configuration; most Navy Lugers were either made or altered to match this configuration. Blade and two-position notch rear sights with a blank chamber, unproofed receiver, "crown/M" proofed barrel, "GESICHERT" marked lower safety position, checkered grips, and a "crown/M" marked unnumbered magazine. A small "B in shield" proof is present on the right side of the frame.

Good, with areas of brown and gray patina, scattered shallow pitting (deeper beneath the grips, edge wear and handling marks. The takedown lever is a mixed numbered replacement, with some unnumbered components. Grips are good, with a chip absent from the right panel and mild stains and dings. Mechanically excellent.
