This is an example of the 1906 DWM Luger contract pistol as produced for the "Royal Portuguese Navy". There were only approximately 1,000 produced in total, however the highest serial number know to date is 769. The top of the chamber is marked with the large Portuguese Crown over a single "Naval Anchor" with the top of the front toggle marked with the "DWM" logo. As noted this is a 1906 style frame with the distinctive grip safety and no stock lug, that correctly has the polished lower safety area (with no markings) and the extractor is marked "CARREGADA", in lieu of "GELADEN". The lower left side of the barrel extension is also correctly stamped with the Portuguese proof of "MP", with no other inspection or acceptance proofs. As noted this model is numbered in the correct commercial manner, with no letter suffix. It has the standard commercial finish and is fitted with an unmarked nickel plated magazine with a commercial wooden base that is re-marked "Cal 9m/m".

Professionally restored with 98% of the current blued finish with only minor edge and high spots wear overall, with some minor blue loss on the side plate hump. The various small parts retain 90% of their restrawed colors. The walnut grips are in fine condition overall with nice distinct checkering on both sides, showing even honest wear across the tops of the checkering, with some minor pressure dents on the right side. Mechanically fine.
