This is an excellent example of a 1940 dated WWII Mauser Banner Police Luger pistol with the desirable "Eagle/L" Police proof, two black base army magazines and a brown Police marked leather holster. The chamber area is dated "1940" with the Mauser Banner on the front toggle. The standard "Eagle/L" Police proof is stamped on the right side of the barrel extension with the Nazi "Eagle/N" commercial proof on the left side of the barrel extension and the breechblock. The full serial number "2830x" is stamped on the front of the frame, and "2830" is stamped on the left side of the barrel extension. The last two digits of the serial number "30" are stamped on the various small parts, and it is fitted with an unmarked and unproofed Luger barrel. It has all matching numbers and unmarked magazines and grips. The pistol has the late war all salt blue/black finish and is fitted with a pair of rare unmarked Mauser brown plastic checkered grips. It is estimated that only 1% of the brown coarse grips were actually used on 1940 Mauser Luger pistols as most were subcontracted to Krieghoff for their production. This excellent Police Luger is complete with two "fxo/Eagle 37" Army type magazines with the unmarked black plastic bases. It is complete with a Eagle/C Police proofed takedown tool and a Police marked brown leather holster. The holster is stamped on the back side "SCHAMBACH & CO./BERLIN" over a Police eagle proof.
