A very fine example of one of only 1,000 "lange" barrel, or artillery model, Luger pistols ordered by the Persian government in 1934. This contract was fulfilled from 1935-1936 and also included 1,006 4 inch barreled Lugers. These pistols exhibit the same high quality fit and finish exhibited by other Mauser-made Lugers, and truly show their willingness to please their customers through the personalized crests and set of Farsi markings. The chamber area is marked with the Persian "crown/lion/sunburst" crest, a "crown/crown/U" proof on the left of the barrel extension, and the remainder of the markings in Farsi, and the numbering is in Eastern Arabic, with the full number (3925) on the receiver and frame, matching partial numbers on many components, a mixed magazine, and an unnumbered barrel and grips. Included with the pistol is a mixed numbered hardwood shoulder stock with a brown leather flap holster, two-cell magazine pouch, shoulder strap, takedown tool, and cleaning rod.

Very fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing scattered light scratches and dings, bright edge wear, the beginning of a gray patina on the gripstraps and minor spotting. 60% plus original straw color remains, with a bright gray patina on the grip screws and strong niter blue on the other components. Grips are fine, with some dings and flat spots. The stock is very good, with mild dents and a mixed patina on the iron, and the leather accessories are very good with some cracking, tearing, and absent components. Mechanically excellent.
