SOLD - Rare, Documented Factory Cutaway Training Luger - UB Marked

Description

4/8/21 - This is a very rare factory cutaway example of a Mauser Luger for training/instruction, and has rare UB marking on top of chamber. This specific Luger is documented and pictured in "Lugers At Random" by Charles Kenyon Jr. Kenyon states this example shown is regarded by collectors as a "tool room" model because of the "U B" proof over the chamber. "Ubung" meaning trial or test. This is viewed as a factory executed example as it is serialized but NOT proofed, and it's also the first such example we've encountered. Cross-sections of all parts are visible, and it even has a cross section of a 9mm cartridge in the chamber. . Beautiful finish throughout. Bore is shiny with strong rifling but there is some pitting toward the muzzle end. Excellent grips. Magazine is numbered and matching to the gun. All in all a super rare piece, perhaps one-of-a-kind.
