SOLD - Rare 1938 Navy Mauser Luger Rig - Matching Magazine (597i - 12004)

Description

6/17/20 - This is a very nice example of a scarce and complete Kriegsmarine Mauser Luger rig, which includes Navy marked holster and one of the original, matching magazines. There were only 2,400 Navy Mauser Lugers produced in 1938, and there were only about 6,000 Kriegsmarine Mauser Lugers ever marked as such. The pistol is all matching numbers, including the grips. The magazine matches with both factory serial and Nortsee property number. It's only one digit off from a recorded serial in Axis Pistols/Third Reich Lugers. The profile view is excellent with standard high edge wear but there is notable dulling of the color on the straps. Strong, shiny bore. The holster is 1939 dated with the rare Kriegsmarine Eagle/M marking. It's in excellent condition aside from a scrape along the top flap. Rig also includes a spare Navy magazine that is mismatched but rare nonetheless.
