This is an early production 1900 Swiss Contract Luger of which an estimated 2,000 commercial and 3,000 military pistols were produced. These pistols were the real first Swiss contract Luger pistol produced in the (2000-5000) serial number range for both the military and commercial pistols. These pistols have the early features such as the dished toggles with toggle lock, the flat/recessed breech bolt, no stock lug, grip safety, flat main springs, and fast taper barrel that is 4 3/4" long. This pistol also has fixed blade and "V" notch sights, standard Swiss cross in sunburst on the chamber, and "DWM" scroll toggle marking. "Crown/B", "crown/U", "Crown/G" proofs are present with the bore marking on the barrel underside. Full serial number (4630) on the front of the frame and underside of the barrel, with the partial serial number (56) on the takedown latch, side plate, and toggle link. Blue finish with straw colored small parts. Fitted with checkered walnut grips stamped with the partial serial number (56) on the backs. With correct style nickel plated unmarked magazine with wood base. This excellent luger is complete with an original first pattern Swiss model 1900 leather holster that is complete with the original shoulder straps and spare magazine pouch on top of the holster. The back of the holster is marked "E. GRAUCHIGER/00/BERN". The early style magazine pouch feature is rarely encountered as this was removed later on in service use.
