Originally manufactured in "First Issue" configuration, like many German Navy Luger pistols this example was reconfigured, with the safety altered to the "army" pattern. The lower safety position has been ground out, and a new "Gesichert" added to the upper position. Blade front and two-position notch rear sights, undated chamber, with a set of "crown" firing proofs on the barrel, extension and breechblock, two "crown/M" stamps on the left side of the receiver and one on the underside of the barrel. "GELADEN" is marked on the extractor, with straw finished small parts, a pair of checkered grips, and a nickel finished magazine with "crown/M" and "8099" on the wood base. The back strap is stamped "W.W./1132" below the grip safety, suggesting issue from a naval depot in Wilhelmshaven. Included with the pistol is a hardwood board stock, numbered "1803/a" on the iron and stamped "crown/M" on the otherwise blank stock disc.

Very fine, with 90% arsenal refurbished blue finish, showing some light handling marks, edge wear, and a small amount of spotting. 50% of the straw colors are present, the remainder turning a gray patina, along with solid traces of niter blue on the pins. The grips are fine, with some dents and stains, and the stock shows similar wear. Mechanically excellent.
