Manufactured by Deutsche Waffen Und Munitionsfabriken Co. Contract sale to Portugal. The Portuguese R.P. navy contract was for 300 pistols, sn 351-650. See Sturgess (red edition) p.680. Features include round barrel with dovetailed inverted V front sight, V notch rear sight on rear link, thumb safety is unmarked, front toggle link marked "DWM" in script. Wide grip safety without a stock lug. Extractor is marked "CARREGADA". "R.P. (above a) FOULED ANCHOR" over the chamber. CONDITION: Gun is an all matching numbers gun. Full checkered grips. The left grip looks to be a replacement. The right grip shows some wear. Eight round magazine is a nickeled tin body with an unnumbered wood bottom. Good bore showing a little frosting. Gun retains approximately 80% of the factory applied blue finish. Straw is about 5%. As rare as this gun is, it comes in an even harder to find original Portuguese Navy holster with shoulder straps and a double magazine pouch. Leather shows crazing. Stitching is tight and serviceable. It has a take down tool compartment and a cleaning rod compartment but no tools. An extremely hard gun to find and would be a great addition to any Luger collection. RW
