Ordered shortly before the collapse of the Portuguese Monarchy, this is one of only 350 Royal Portuguese Navy Luger pistols ordered, and one of a very limited number known. Per Aarron Davis in the “Standard Catalog of Luger,” only six of these Lugers are known to collectors (page 70). Cutting edge firepower of the day, this Luger bears the traditional "DWM" monogram on the toggle assembly, with the "crown/fouled anchor" Portuguese Navy logo on the chamber, conjoined "MP" on the left side of the extension, "CARREGADA" on the extractor and a polished lower safety position. Numbering is in the correct "commercial" pattern, all numbers matching, with "H" on the unnumbered wood magazine base. Fitted with a pair of unnumbered checkered grips. Back of left panel is marked with the letter "K." Included with the lot is a Portuguese military pattern brown leather flap holster containing a takedown tool and barrel rod.

Excellent, with 95% plus of the original blue finish, 75% original straw colors showing bright edge wear, mild handling marks, and minor spotting. The grips also excellent with a few light dings on the otherwise crisp checkering. The holster is fine with scuffs and verdigris buildup. Mechanically excellent. This is the finest example of a Portuguese Royal Navy RIA has ever sold.
