Buy the real thing...
 

You could buy the real thing for what they want for an Interarms gun: http://www.gunbroker.com/Item/718018759

YIKES! But But you get all the tools, extra mag and a Mauser box too for that DWM.

The commemorative Luger pistols also represent the last of the Mauser-Werke made Lugers shipped through the early 1990's. They were not selling a large number (due to the prices they had to charge) and so didn't make many of any of the variations.

I believe that Mauro just recently posted details of the very last one, an Artillery commemorative that he owns.

These were beautifully made. It would probably cost well over $5k to manufacture one today. While a real Navy could be had for about the asking price, these don't surprise me...

I remember seeing tables at local large gunshows with these newly manufactured Mauser Lugers in large quantities(9's and 30's in 4 and 6"). They ran around 300-400 for caliber/barrel length. I always thought they were pretty nicely made myself. They did not seem to sell well even at these prices back then, perhaps the collectors were more interested in the vintage guns; don't know.

I also remember some guys on this forum offering the cased specialty Mauser Lugers(new in box) which included the Navy model, for about half or less than the 5K number. Always admired them.

Back when I fell into the vintage navies a little, had a couple that I shot regularly..........but not well at all, the 2 position sights gave me fits. So now there, they sit, unused for the most part, but probably will never shoot them again in their basic form. I suspect that they will become donors eventually for some obscure Luger project, but who knows. A red dot works pretty good on a Luger I have found; a Wyatt clone or a Swiss 22lr single shot wears on the mind here.

The new Mauser Lugers became collectable eventually, guess some could make a buck or two on them, and the prices rose.

I personally think they are pretty nice for whatever need one has, but the price has gotten stiffer over the years. They like the stainless will have their following.

Did those Navies have functional stock lugs or dummies like the other models?
dju

The Mauser commemorative Lugers have functional stock lugs that work with original or Odin produced stocks (some fitting may be required). US made Luger replicas like "Stoeger" and "Mitchell" (made by Aimco I think) have stock lugs that are just lumps on the grip strap and are not functional. The Mauser Lugers made in the 70s were made up from patterns from the Swiss produced Lugers which had no stock lugs, so the stock lug on guns such as this "Navy" model is really just tacked on and doesn't look exactly like an original '04 Navy.

The toggle says DWM, so is this gun really made by Mauser?

I believe the commemorative variations often had the throwback DWM marked toggles. Rest assured, they were made by Mauser!

Yep, really made by Mauser. The DWM logo is just part of the "re-creation" of this navy commemorative but stylized in an oval to prevent it from someday being passed off as an original.

I see. Just as exciting as a Colt Gold Cup .22 made by Umarex.
