Beautifull Luger and unknown origin. Please help me to figure out it.

It’s not a 6” barrel but a standard 4.75” one. It’s mostly a standard “new model” 1906 commercial in .30 cal for non-export sale, which makes the origin story provided interesting. That and the Gesichert instead of leaving the “safe” position in the white as seen on many of the pre-war new model setups like both of my model 1906’s.

You are correct, Quintin! Somebody mentioned "Navy" in a comment, and I didn't look back at the pics to check.

The lower position of the GESICHERT is found on all Lugers with grip safeties. In the event that it's in the white instead, it was milled into the surface after bluing.

p.s. I think either the up or down safety can be mechanically rearranged a bit so as to function in the reverse of what would be expected for the variation.
