Catalog Page: 246
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Fixed sights, with the top of the chamber clear of stampings or dates and the front toggle link bearing the "DWM" monogram. In addition to the German "crown/N" proofs on the barrel, receiver and front toggle link, and the matching numbers on the barrel, frame, takedown latch, side plate and rear toggle, the front of the frame bears a "GERMANY" import mark, "LOADED" on the left side of the extractor and "SAFE" on the upper safety position. This combination of English worded markings is only seen on Luger pistols intended for the American commercial market. Fitted with straw finished small parts, niter blue screws and pins, checkered grips, and a nickel finished magazine with blank wood base. Includes an extra magazine (also unmarked) and a brown leather flap holster with a faint ink Berlin merchant's marking inside the flap.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, with 95% of the professionally restored blue finish, showing bright edge wear, light handling marks, a few dings on top of the chamber, and minimal spotting. The straw colors have dulled but are still strong on the small parts, with the niter blue also darker but present. The grips are very fine, with some dings and dark spots, and the holster is fine with attractive brown color and a number of scuffs and cracks. Mechanically needs work as the trigger does not always engage sear bar.
