*SCARCE EXCEPTIONAL 1940 DATED MAUSER BANNER POLICE LUGER WITH HOLSTER AND TWO MATCHING MAGAZINES.

SN 2245x. Cal. 9mm. Usual configuration with 4″ bbl and orig sight. Chamber area of the receiver is marked 1940 and toggle link has the Mauser banner. Side plate has the police sear safety. Mounted with exceptional, full checkered walnut grips with wood grain showing through. Accompanied by an equally exceptional brown hard shell leather holster marked on the back “Kern Klager & Cie / 1940 / Berlin” over a Nazi eagle stamp. Below that someone has written in the SN “Nr.2245x”. Also accompanied by two matching numbered aluminum base magazines marked “1” & “2”. According to Lugers at Random, Kenyon, there were only a few thousand of these pistols produced 1939-1942. He states that strong evidence indicates that these pistols were mostly produced for the police. While this series of Lugers is not overly rare finding one that appears to be unfired with two matching magazines and an orig holster is exceptionally rare. CONDITION: Exceptionally fine, all matching including firing pin, grips & magazines. Overall retains nearly 100% crisp orig finish with black finished small parts. Grips are also exceptional, showing only faint diamond point wear with one or two tiny chipped diamonds. Mechanics are crisp; brilliant shiny bore, appears to be unfired. Magazines are equally new showing only faint wear. Holster is truly exceptional showing only a minor scuff or two with some faint edge wear on the flap. Altogether an extraordinary set. 4-56062 (5,000-7,500) – Lot 2191
