Hi,

You can drop the 1923 Dutch Commercial phrase. Handguns have been outlawed for decades over here and there is no such thing as a Dutch commercial Luger.

The Dutch military purchases for the KNIL and Navy were commercially stamped pistols in the 1906 Pattern with grip safety for the KNIL, and the standard P08-style pistol with commercial stamping for the Navy.

This pistol, falling in the Navy category, DWM labeled but Mauser assembled, should have a crown-U marking (or the remains of it) on the barrel. Could be removed by a rework phase somewhere in the past. I agree the extractor looks kinda 'off' and I suggest examining the right side 'GELADEN' marking. Could be that someone created a 'Dutch' extractor.

A nice pistol, but with some question marks. Price may have been lower.
