This is an exceptionally example of a Swiss Commercial Luger with the very desirable "Abercrombie and Fitch Co." markings. These early commercial Lugers were originally intended for sale in Switzerland; however, due to the large demand for Lugers in the U.S. pre-WWI, DWM diverted some production from their Swiss contract to their U.S. agent and on to the Abercrombie & Fitch Co. of New York. This scarce Luger has the early style short frame with the 1906 style grip safety, no stock lug and is correctly marked "GELADEN" on the extractor, with the first pattern unaltered safety that has the polished lower safety area on the frame. The chamber is marked with the standard Swiss Cross in a Sunburst, with the top of the barrel roll marked: "ABERCROMBIE & FITCH Co NEW YORK MADE IN SWITZERLAND". It is correctly numbered in the commercial manner, with the front of the frame and underside of the barrel stamped with serial number "2995", and with no other visible serial numbers or visible commercial proofmarks. The Luger is fitted with a correct Swiss pattern magazine with the nickel plated body and an "H" marked wooden base with the circular inserts. The pistol has a rust blue finish with straw colored small components and checkered walnut grips.

Excellent with 99% of the original blue finish with a hint of wear on the muzzle and edge of the side plate hump. The various small parts retain 85% plus of their straw colors overall with slightly more wear/fading of the colors on the flats and face of the trigger. The grips are also excellent with nice distinct checkering on both sides with only a couple of minor nicks on the right side. An exceptionally nice, all original, high condition, Abercrombie & Fitch marked Luger pistol.
