This is one of approximately 600 Lugers made on contract for Holland in the serial range 2655v-3254v just prior to the German invasion on March 10th, 1940, which halted the delivery. These were issued to the Wehrmacht, with this example marked with a faint "eagle/135" German acceptance proof on the barrel, a faint eagle proof on the breech block, and "eagle/37" proofed "fxo" code blue finished magazine. Matching full and partial serial numbers marked on various components, with an unnumbered replacement left grip panel and magazine. "1940" dated chamber, Mauser banner logo on the front toggle, "RUST" marked lower safety area, and "GELADEN" marked extractor.

Very fine, retains 95% arsenal refurbished blue finish with a few small patches of light pitting underneath the finish. The grips are also very fine with some minor chips, defined edges, and checkering. Mechanically excellent.
