*RARE EARLY MAUSER/ DWM OBERNDORF LUGER WITH HOLSTER AND CAPTURE PAPERS.

*RARE EARLY MAUSER/ DWM OBERNDORF LUGER WITH HOLSTER AND CAPTURE PAPERS. SN 1204V. Cal. 9 mm. This scarce, early Mauser production Luger using leftover DWM parts mixed with new Mauser parts, is one routed to early Nazi police use, and is fitted with sear safety; a Prussian state requirement dating from 1933. Kenyon in LUGERS AT RANDOM estimates 500, at most, of these were produced. Still in THIRD REICH LUGERS estimates a production of approximately 300. This example has high polish DWM toggle assembly, frame, and side-plate. Bbl and receiver appear to be Mauser production with distinctive early machining of front sight band. Unique to this particular group of Lugers is a large crowned U-proof on side of receiver. SN of this specimen, 1204V, puts it toward the end of the estimated production numbers of this type which appears were made immediately after the Stoeger contract which used leftover American Eagle receivers. Trigger, take-down lever, and ejector exhibit brightly strawed color usually found in early Mauser production. Tinned wood based magazine is numbered 6216. Black early police style holster is marked “Franz Cobau Berlin 1935” with sunburst with “K”. It is also marked “S. B.” and with matted out SN “7505”. Another number which appears to be “8104” has been scraped away, and no. “1204” stamped in its place. Pistol and holster are accompanied by original capture papers dated 17 November ’45, in the name of John Authier listing “1 – Luger, GER no. 1204”, “1- Holster”, and “1- Clip”. PROVENANCE: Capture papers. CONDITION: Fine. Metal retains 75 – 80% orig blue, silvered on muzzle band, portions of bbl, and other high points. Grip straps are mostly brown. There is some pinprick pitting through straw on bottom of safety lever and right side of trigger. Grips show considerable wear. Bore is excellent. Magazine is fine. Holster is fine, moslty black, but flap and magazine compartment are turning brown. Capture papers are foxed and creased. A scarce, honest, early Nazi Luger, as brought back by returning G.I. 4-41830 MGM57 (4,000-6,000)
