Missing in action.

With research and the help of many, I'm pretty sure the missing luger was a Portugeses Navy. Unfortunately the finish IS hard chrome per my partner in OR who Shot and handled it on numerous occaisions. But I still need to arrive at a model number. The documentaion I have gives Three different dates 1915,1921, 1925. If the weapon is indeed a Navy would ANY of these dates be accurate? And finaly I need a best guess on the value asuming the best except for the finish, which beaks my heart. The insurance co. needs something ASAP. Many thanks,

Jim

Jim, the only Portugese Navy that Matches your criteria (9mm, 4 inch barrel, DWM Toggle, MP left side marking) is a 1906 Republic of Portugal Navy. Now that is based on my copy of Lugers at Random, by Kenyon. I hope you can get some secondary opinions. LOL
