Portuguese Navy Luger
 

I
can you please give me an opinion about this luger
i think it is a portuguese navy ?
regards
Pepe

I don't think it's Portuguese or Navy.
I think it's a 1906 style (grip safety), flat toggles, Mauser banner (commercial, not military).
No military proof marks, no date.
The side plate looks like a replacement.

(I'm no expert, but that's my thoughts.... did you find an export stamp?)

I think the Mauser banner toggle link is a replacement. The rest of the gun appears to be 98 as the last two digits, but these old eyes could be fooling me.

Thank for your information
The gun is for sale in Portugal announced as a navy Luger

On the left side of the chamber, ahead of the serial, is a marking of some sort...I can't make out the whole mark, but it is a lazy [something] over a U...Doesn't look like a crown... :confused:

crown crown U. mauser proof. like this.

The horizonal double crown over U was used on Mauser commerical. police and foreign contract pistols from 1935 until 1940. TH

the gun model with safety gryp is a 1906 isn t it ?

model 1906 but made by dwm and mauser much longer into 1940s

Pepe, the Luger looks like a commercial model.

They used the 1906 design, with a grip safety, no date code and no stock lug, as the primary design features for commercial lugers.

The Portuguese Navy Lugers had a very visible stamp (see below) on the top of the chamber. The chamber on this gun has nothing or it was removed.

I have one from the 1937 run. Those do not have the crest, however ther were all 4000 to 4050 serial number as I recall.

Hi
This is what i now found about this luger that i bought

Pepe,
Apparently you have a relatively limited production and documented pistol. Having access to reliable reference sources are extremely valuable.
Enjoy your acquisition.

HA !

Now I agree, too, Pepe !!

I looked it up in the Kant book, too.

Hope you will share more photos - including the holster.
