CONDITION: Exceptionally fine with 85% of the original blued finish, with edge and high spot
wear, and some brown patina and thinning blue on the front
grip strap. The various smaller parts retain 30% of their original
straw colors overall. The grips are very fine with nice distinct
checkering on both sides and some minor handling marks and light wear across the tops of the checkering. This very scarce early Swiss Test Luger has all matching numbers except as noted. Mechanically excellent. A fleeting opportunity to own an extremely rare documented DWM 1899/1900 Swiss Test Luger pistol.
Estimate: 35,000 - 55,000
