This is a beautiful example of a very scarce Mauser Banner model 1935/06 Portuguese Commercial contract Luger pistol. There were exactly 579 of this model manufactured for the Guarde Nacional Republicana (serial number range of 1,921-2,500 with v suffix). The chamber area has the intertwined Portuguese "GNR" (Guarde Nacional Republicana) with the desirable Mauser banner logo on the front toggle link. The barrel underside, left receiver side and breech block have a commercial "Crown/U" Oberndorf proof. Serial numbered in the commercial manner with full serial number "2439" on the frame, barrel and barrel extension, and the last two digits of the serial number (39) on the various small parts. The safety area is marked "SEGURANCA", and the extractor is marked "CARREGADA". Nicely checkered grips, a correct unmarked nickel plated magazine with an unmarked aluminum base.

Excellent with 98% plus of the original blue finish with some very minor wear on the edges and high spots, such as the frame rails and side plate hump, with some rub marks on the side of the barrel extension from the side plate. The various smaller parts retain 90% of their original straw colors overall with wear on the edges with some slight fading on the flats. The walnut grips are also in excellent condition with nice distinct checkering overall with only a couple of minor nicks on the tops of some of the diamonds with a small pressure dents on the right side behind the magazine release button. This is a exceptionally nice, all original all matching, high condition Portuguese contract Luger that is difficult to locate.
