These Iranian/Persian commercial contract Lugers were produced under two separate commercial contracts, one in 1936 and the second one in 1942, with 1,000 pistols ordered in each contract and were made up with both short and long artillery barrel length Luger pistols. These are an extremely rare Luger as almost NO examples were ever released by the Government of Iran.
Quote:
This is a standard 1908 Model gun designated by collectors as a 1934 Mauser Contract Luger.
The first toggle link is marked with the Farsi script stating Mauser, and there is the "V" rear sight on the rear toggle link and the last two digits of the serial number appear in Farsi.
