This is a exceptional example of a highly desirable DWM Model 1906 Second Issue Navy Luger. About 2,000 Second Issue Navy Lugers were manufactured and fall in the 9000a to 998b serial number range. The pistol has the standardized "GESICHERT" marking on the upper safety position. It also has the correct blank chamber, and the left side of the barrel extension is marked with a single "crown" proof followed by two "crown/M" German Navy proofmarks. The barrel is stamped with a "crown/M" proof on the bottom, a "crown" proof on the left side along with the matching serial number and letter suffix. A "crown" proof is stamped on the left side of the breechblock, and the front toggle link is marked with the DWM scroll. It is fitted with a six-inch barrel, two-position Navy adjustable rear sight and a stock lug. Excluding the magazine, external numbers are matching, with additional matching numbers on the trigger, extension, and toggle assembly. Fitted with straw finished small parts, niter blue pins and springs, checkered grips and a correct replacement nickel finished magazine with a concentric ring decorated wood base numbered "5429".

Exceptionally fine, with 95% of the original blue finish, showing bright wear on the high edges, a few scratches on the sideplate, left side of the frame, and gripstraps, mild spotting and light handling marks. 70% of the refinished straw color (over light pitting) is present on the small parts. The grips are very fine, with some dings and dark spots. Mechanically excellent.
