This is a very fine representative example of a highly desirable DWM 2nd Issue Model 1906 Navy Luger. It is one of only about 2,000 Second Issue Navy Lugers that were manufactured and fall in the 9000a to 998b serial number range. The pistol has the standardized "GESICHERT" marking in 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" Imperial German Navy proofmarks. The barrel is stamped with a "crown/M" proof on the bottom along with the matching serial number and letter suffix, as well as a "GERMANY" import mark. The left of the barrel has a faint "crown" proof. A "crown" proof is stamped on the left side of the breechblock, and the front toggle link is marked with the DWM monogram. 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, including "46" inside both grip panels. Fitted with straw finished small parts, niter blue pins and springs, checkered walnut grips, and a correct pattern, navy proofed, replacement nickel finished magazine with a "concentric ring" wood base numbered "211". Also includes a walnut stand, board shoulder stock with faint import mark on the left, leather holster rig with dual cavity magazine pouch, cleaning rod, takedown tool, and an extra "concentric ring" base magazine numbered to the gun and import marked.
