Extremely rare commercial Banner Luger. "(crown) U" proofs on the front sight base, left side of the receiver, and on the left side of the breech block. It is numbered in the commercial style. Dated 1936 over the chamber and a small Mauser Banner on the front toggle link. Extractor is marked "GELADEN" on the left side and the safety is marked "GESICHERT" in the upper position. All matching numbers gun to include one of the correct Nickel magazines with aluminum bottom. It comes in a "FR&K VOEGELS / KOLN-DEUTZ / 1936" black holster with a "WaA234" proof mark. In the holster it has a "(crown) U" stamped loading tool and a "(crown) U" un-numbered magazine. This is a stunning example of an early Mauser commercial gun. CONDITION: Gun retains 98% of the original factory-applied blue finish. The straw small parts are at 98% also. Fire blue toggle pin, grip screws, and sear bar spring. Un-numbered checkered grips are sharp and crisp. Bright and shiny bore with sharp lands and grooves. The holster has bright stitching. The stitching is tight and serviceable. There is an enameled pin stuck to the front of the holster flap that has "AR / 8" on it. Holster shows very minimal wear. A great addition to any Luger collection. REW
