This stamp makes this Luger very attractive.
After WW2 a lot of pistols came on service in Denmark,
Among these Lugers, some pistols got the property stamp “HV”
A very rare Luger I think?

I am curious...It is a "navy" Luger, but was property of the Army??? Does it have the Navy barrel, or the 4" "army" style barrel??? (I believe we have seen 4" barreled Navy Lugers [with 2-position rear sight] here)...

So it would not necessarily have been used by the Danish Navy???
