This is a very fine example of a pre-World War I Model DWM 1906 first Issue/altered Imperial German Navy Luger. This series of Navy Lugers has the standard grip safety, 6-inch barrel with the altered second pattern (upper) Arsenal remarked "GESICHERT" safety with no chamber date. The left side of the barrel extension has the double "crown/M" proofmarks with the smaller Imperial "crown" firing proof that is repeated again on the left side of the barrel. The frame and underside of the barrel are both correctly numbered with the full serial number (6481). The last two digits of the serial number (81) are correctly stamped on the various small parts. The back grip strap is stamped: "W.D./236". This Luger is complete with an original Navy magazine that has the tin-plated body with the wooden base with the concentric circles on the ends. The wooden base has been repinned and restamped with "6481".

Very good with 95% plus of the original arsenal refurbished blue finish overall edge and high spot wear with blue loss on the side plate hump, frame rails and stock lug. The restrawed colors show 85% of their colors overall with wear on the sides of the trigger and take down lever. The grips are in excellent condition with nice sharp distinct checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
