This is a late 1940 production Mauser Luger that has the Mauser Banner marked toggle in the late "x" serial number block. These Police Lugers have always been highly sought after and this is a fine example, complete with matching magazine. The top of the chamber area is dated "40" for the year of manufacture and as noted the front toggle is marked with the "Mauser Banner" logo. These Police Lugers were all pulled from commercial production and lack the military proof and acceptance marks. This one is correctly stamped with only the "Eagle/L" Police proof on the right side of the barrel extension with the Nazi "Eagle/N" proof on the left side, with that same commercial proof on the breechblock. It is correctly fitted with sear safety spring on top of the side plate. The safety and extractor are correctly marked "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" respectively. This Luger is complete with one all blued, unmarked magazine with the aluminum base that is marked "1/2929/x".

Very fine as professionally restored with 90% of the blue finish showing edge and high spot wear with thinning and blue loss on the grip straps. The grips are also in very fine condition with nice checkering both sides showing minor nicks and dings in the checkering on both sides, with the right side showing some minor refreshening. This Luger has all matching numbers to include the clip and both grips. A very nice example of an early Mauser Banner Police Luger.
