This is a rare and exceptional DWM Model 1906 Navy Luger with the very rare gold inlaid initials of "MLF" on top of the chamber. This same basic pattern was used all the way through WWI and even into the Weimar era. Although it was developed for military use it was also sold as a commercial model during this same time period. Obviously in the case of this commercial model it was intended to be a presentation model made specifically for a high ranking military official or a Political leader of some country, because it was embellished with the large intertwined gold initials "MLF" inlayed on top of the chamber area. This was a very common tactic by DWM when they were courting foreign countries for a future military contract. It still retains the first pattern polished lower safety area (not altered to the second pattern, upper safety area) with the extractor marked ''CARGADO" (Spanish for "Loaded"), clearly giving credence that this was intended as a Presentation Luger for a South American or Spanish speaking leader. This model is easily identified by the serial number range and the grip safety. The left side of the barrel extension, breech block and front toggle are marked with a single "Crown/B and Crown/U" proofmarks, and the underside of the barrel is also stamped with the "Crown/B", "Crown/G and "Crown/U" proofmarks. It is correctly numbered in the commercial manner with the full serial number stamped on the frame and underside of the barrel with the last two digits stamped on the various small parts. The two magazines that are fitted with this pistol are original pre-war Navy Commercial versions that have the nickel plated body with wooden bases that have the concentric circles on the sides and both are stamped on the base, "Cal/9 m/m". Included with a very rare early unmarked brown leather Navy pattern Commercial holster and takedown tool.

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% plus of the original blue finish with only a hint of edge wear in a couple of places. The various small parts retain 85% plus of the original straw color, mostly in the protected areas. The grips are also excellent with nice sharp checkering. All of the gold inlay on top of the chamber remains. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very good with overall light marks and tight sticking. The leather straps that hold the belt strap have worn through. Certainly an exceptional scarce and rare DWM Model 1906 Commercial Presentation Navy Luger.
