Vertical Crown/N on left side of bbl extension. Matching SNs on bottom of bbl, lug of bbl extension, on each link of the toggle assembly, frame, takedown lever, sideplate and trigger. Safety, hold open and the grip panels are not numbered. Tinned mag body with a blank wood base. Mated to an original stock with lug number “50042”, having a horn buttplate with serrated base. This gun is featured on p. 532 of Borchardt & Luger Automatic Pistols by Joachim Gortz and Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: The gun has been extensively refurbished during assembly with most components renumbered prior to the new rust blue.

All the strawed parts except the ejector have been reheated for color enhancement. Orig grips with minor losses, except for the left panel that is missing a chip near the safety lever. Orig stock with worn checkering and scattered handling marks. The lug has largely transitioned to a gray-brown while the strawed safety lever appears as a mottled gray. Losses to the buttplate are commensurate with the general condition of the stock. Near mirror bore with strong rifling and minimal frosting. Perfect manual mechanics. 4-52062 LMA47 (3,500-6,500) – Lot 1176
