Luger identication help

[DavidJayUden]

I do like that 1906, Albert. The color is right, the grips fit it like a glove, and it shows just enough use to say that it has been around for a hundred years or so. Yes, the straw is exceptional.
So at the risk of jumping to conclusions, nice gun!

Hi Alf, Albert's gun is a 1906 Portuguese, Pepe's is a 1900. Regards, Norm

Correction: my pistol is a M1906 Portugese Royal Navy Contract Luger (crown anchor on the chamber) and Pepe's pistol is a M1900 Commercial Luger.

Thank you for the kind compliment, David. This Luger rig has incredible provenance and it is a stunner. It is the most historical piece in my collection, but not the rarest. I am thrilled to be the current caretaker of this exceptional item.

Cheers,
Albert
