This is a standard issue mid-WWI Navy Luger that was manufactured by the DWM factory in 1916. The 1914 pattern Navy Lugers are very distinctive in that they lack the grip safety, have a stock lug on the lower rear grip strap and have the flat style checkered toggles along with the distinctive six-inch barrel with the correct two-position Navy rear sight, adjustable from 100-200 meters. The chamber is dated 1916 and so is the left side of the front sight and the left frame rail. The front toggle is marked with the "DWM" scroll. The left side of the barrel extension has the double "crown" proof along with two crown over "M" Navy proofs. The left side of the barrel also has the single crown proof and the underside of the barrel has the small crown over "M" proof. It has a standard WWI nickel plate magazine with the standard wooden bottom base that has been numbered to two different Luger pistols with a single "crown/M" proof.

Very fine with 85% of the original blue showing minor edge and high spot wear with slight wear on the lower back strap mixed with some minor rust/pin-prick pitting spots on the center section of the barrel. The various small parts retain 60% of their straw colors. The grips are fine with nice original checkering on both sides and some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent. This pistol has all matching numbers except the magazine as noted above.
