This is an excellent example of a early 1939 dated Mauser Banner Police Luger pistol rig with the scarce "Eagle/C" Police proof. These were produced in a very short production run (1360 produced in total) in early 1939 before Mauser switched to the standard "Eagle/L" Police proof. The top of the chamber area is lightly stamped "1939" for the year of manufacture with the large Mauser Banner logo on the front toggle. The scarce early "Eagle/C" Police proof is stamped on the right side of the receiver, with the commercial "Crown/U" proofmarks stamped on the left side of the receiver and the breechblock. The full serial number "1634w" is stamped on the front of the frame, with "1634" stamped and the left side of the barrel extension, and underside of the barrel with the last two digits of the serial number (34) stamped on the various small parts. The pistol has a salt blue finish and checkered walnut grips. This beautiful Police Luger rig is complete with one matching all blued Police magazine. The base is marked, "1/1634/w". It is complete with an black leather Police holster, marked on the back "OTTO SINDEL/BERLIN/1939/Police Eagle proofmark.

Excellent plus with 99% of the all blued finish overall. The grips are also in excellent condition with nice sharp checkering on both sides with minimal handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The holster is also in excellent condition with a nice shiny black finish overall with no visible wear with clear sharp markings. Just a super example of a scarce "Eagle/C" Police Luger rig.
