Description:

Blade front and notch rear sights, the "41" date on the chamber and "byf" factory code on the front toggle link. Nazi "eagle" firing proofs are present on the barrel, breechblock and extension, and the barrel and extension are also stamped with "eagle/655" proofs. Full blue finish, with checkered grips and two blued magazines with alloy bases. Matching numbers are present overall, including on the grip panels and both included magazines; one of the magazines bears the proper "+" spare magazine marking. The brown leather holster is marked "dta/41" and "WaA195" (Waldhausen, Cologne) on the back, and "Uffz./Arnold/600143.H." inside the flap, with an "eagle/63" marked takedown tool in the flap pouch. Unteroffizier Arnold is unidentified, but was likely the original carrier of the pistol, and it would seem both Arnold and whoever took this Luger off of him took exceptional care of the rig.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 97% plus original blue finish, showing a plum patina on the ejector and some light edge/handling wear. The grips are also excellent, with a few dark spots and dings. The holster is very fine, with some minor scuffing. Mechanically excellent.
