SOLD - 1940 Navy Mauser Luger Rig - Matching Magazine

Description

3/9/22 - This is an excellent example of a rare Mauser Luger issued to the Kriegsmarine in 1940. The gun is all matching and has a "N 4890" Navy property marking on the back strap. This variation is rare, as only about 6,000 were ever produced. This particular gun comes as a rig with an excellent and rare 1939-dated Navy-marked black leather holster, one original matching-numbered magazine (with matching Navy property number), and a spare period-correct Navy-marked magazine that does not match the gun. The gun itself has retained about 94-95% of its original finish. Almost all of the finish loss is on the grip straps, so the profile views of this gun are gorgeous. There are just hints of wear on some of the high edges and around the muzzle. There are a couple of very light scratches on the front strap and some light spotty oxidation on the back strap. Comes with minty un-numbered but waffen-proofed wood grips. There is a tiny chip in the top corner of the left grip. The bore is very shiny with strong rifling and some tiny freckling here and there.
