I was actually waiting for a 1937 Dutch Mauser Banner to come on the block when this beautiful 1906 DWM commercial came by. The Luger was mounted in a striking display case with, besides the Luger, there is a take down tool, cleaning rod, pin removal tool, and two extra commercial mags in addition to the Cal 9 mag mounted in the pistol. The Luger has 98% original finish and completely matched. It is BUG proofed with NO GERMANY stamp.The hammer price was $2500.00, which I feel is a very fair price.

BTW: I got the Dutch Banner for the same price.
This 1937 Dutch Mauser Banner sold for $8,625.00.
