Matching serial number on the front of the frame and partial serial number "09" on most components.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% original blue finish with some barely noticeable minor holster wear on the muzzle, front edge of the frame rails and high points of the side plate and stock lug. 90% plus of the bright original straw color remains on the small components. The grips are also excellent with a few minor dings and dents on the left panel, with crisp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very fine with some scuffs and wear on the flap and tight stitching. An exceptional 1915 Luger Rig!
