A Pistol 04 (1906) DWM, Navy, with all accessories, calibre 9 mm Parabellum, no. 4445a. Matching numbers. Slightly rough bore. Scaled sliding rear sight 100 - 200. Grip safety, "Gesichert" (safe) moved upwards. On back strap the inventory no. "W.K.3781" (Werft/shipyard Kiel, Waffe/weapon 3781.). Complete original finish with light wear marks on edges. Small parts fully strawed and blued. Flawless walnut grip panels with matching numbers. Numberless nickel-plated navy magazine with concentric rings. Top item in almost new condition.
Complete with matching-numbered shoulder stock (shoulder piece) made of walnut, inspection plate marked "II.T.D.304." (2nd Torpedo Division, weapon 304). Strapped-on black cowhide holster with original navy cleaning rod and key. Stitching and pull strap in good order. Complete strapping with double magazine pouch and two additional matching-numbered, nickel-plated sheet metal magazines with wooden base without concentric rings. All leather strapping with age wear marks.
Erwerbsscheinpflichtig. Condition: I- Limit: 11000 EURO
As we know, a bare Navy in a similar condition has fetched 10.049,00 EUR online. For less ambitious bidders, herewith another Navy, refinished and estimated at a paltry 800 Euros. Likewise this Persian Artillery, estimated at 850 Euros.
