This pistols were built in Oberndorf as the 1st production by the Mauser fabric in the early �´30, all this info are in the Weimar and Early Nazi Lugers and Their Accessories - Volume III- pag258/279/288 -- by Jan C Still"

and for the marks in the front is a "Navy Luger"

Hi Waffenrec,

I cannot see any navy markings from your pics; perhaps if you would do some close ups.

Hi Tom, is this a Navy mark? can you tell me about this pistol?

Thanks again
Adrian

Hi,
Is this 9mm? Is the letter suffix v or perhaps it is u? s,t or u suffix would make this an 29 DWM. O=Ostsee?

Suffix
 

Hello, no doubts is a V suffix, and the pistol is 9mm
Thanks

Re: Suffix
 

Hello, here I am again, no doubts is a V suffix, and the pistol is 9mm
Thanks

What suffix marking is on the front of the frame, the normal place for the suffix...

Hi Edward, is the same in the barrel
Thanks
Adrian

It is a late Weimar Navy, Kiel issue. These were pulled from normal DWM commercial production. Not many around and most collectors have little knowledge of the Weimar Navy.

Hi Tom, thanks for your answer, did you read in the Still book? this coincides !!!

Adrian,

Tom has sufficient experience with navy lugers so that he would not now have to refer to the book you mentioned. In fact, Tom is the preocess of writing a book on navy lugers.

Lew1, I'm sorry, in any moment I doubt about Tom experience, just I mentioned a point that is in a very grateful book, just this...

Navy
 

Hi Tom, thanks for your answer, I just mentioned a point, that is considered in a remarcable Luger book.

Adrian

Lew1,

I am humbled by such words.

While Navy Lugers are an area in which I may lay claim to being a reasonably knowledgable individual, I , like all am subject to human error and "dis-remembering" things-That is remembering something that is pertinent but WRONG. I make many boo-boos, but I am very active in Luger acquisition and perhaps I am right 51% of the time.

In any event, thank you for the vote of confidence.

Adrian, you are correct, these Weimar Navy pieces are treasures and the buying public has virtually no knowledge about them. I jump on them whenever i find them.

From the Road,

Tom A

Hi Tom, thanks for your words,

Adrian

Adrian,
I travel to Buenos Aires 6 to 8 times a year on business and would be interested in meeting you the next time I visit. Send me your e-mail address via private message and I'll get in touch with you when I'm in BA in January.
