Description:

Working with a combination of new made and extensively modified original Luger components, John Martz produced a variety of custom Luger variants. This example is closely patterned after the Second Model Commercial Navy Luger. Features fixed blade front and two-position (100 to 200 meter) adjustable tangent rear sights, blank chamber, "DWM" monogram on the front toggle link, "crown/N" proof on the left of the extension, along with "MSTR" and Martz's "JVM" oval stamp on the left of the frame. Matching "28" partial serial numbers on the takedown lever, trigger, and side plate. Fitted with a pair of unmarked replacement checkered hardwood grips and a nickel finished magazine with concentric circled walnut base marked with "JVM" oval stamp. Includes a hardwood Macanudo Number XX cigar box converted into a display case for the pistol and an extra nickel finished magazine with plastic base.

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine overall as professionally upgraded to current configuration by John Martz, retaining 99% plus rust blue finish and straw colors with limited edge wear, a minor safety drag line, and crisp grip checkering. The case is fine. Mechanically excellent.
