Dated "1917" on the front sight base, left receiver rail, and on top of the chamber, with the "DWM" monogram on the front toggle link, crown firing proofs on the barrel, extension and breech block, and the "(crown)/M" Navy proof twice on the extension and once on the barrel. "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" marked upper safety area and extractor, with straw finished small parts, niter blue pins and springs, checkered walnut grips marked with matching last two digits of the serial number inside, and all of the remaining visible serial numbers are matching besides the correct nickel-finished magazine with walnut base, decorated with concentric circles on the sides and "(crown)/M" and "7016" marked on the wood bottom. "GERMANY" marked on the underside of the barrel, a commercial mark added upon being sold stateside in the post-World War I era. Includes a rare Imperial German Navy pattern brown leather flap holster marked "JOH. HUBER/SATTLEREI/MUNCHEN" between the loops. A seldom encountered accessory for the 1914 Naval Luger as they were issued in this manner without shoulder straps. Also includes a cleaning rod.

Grips are very fine with light handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Included holster is fine with cracking at the toe, folds, and some light edge wear.
