Description:

This is an example of a Mauser manufactured, Persian contract Artillery Luger rig that was manufactured circa 1935/36. There were a total of 2,000 Persian contract Lugers manufactured. 1,000 four-inch barreled models and 1,000, eight-inch Artillery models. The Artillery model were an exact duplicate of the WWI German Artillery Luger except all the markings and numbering are in Farsi. The chamber area of the pistol is marked with the Persian crest with the front toggle also marked in Farsi for the Mauser factory. The left side of the barrel extension is marked in Farsi, and the left side is marked with the Mauser crown over "U" commercial proofmark. The full serial, 3091 (marked in Farsi) is marked on the front of the frame and the left side of the barrel extension, and the last two digits of the Farsi serial number (91) are marked on each part. It is fitted with checkered walnut grips. This Luger is complete with two nickel plated magazines with aluminum bases, both matching and correctly marked in Farsi. The pistol has the standard blue finish with straw colored small components and checkered walnut grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially refinished (barrel and grip straps) with 99% of the blue finish overall with only minor edge and high spot wear. The smaller parts retain 98% of their straw colors. The grips are in excellent condition with nice checkering on both sides showing. As noted this fine Luger has all matching numbers to include both magazines. A good representative example of a Persian contract Artillery Luger pistol.
