This 1908 Commercial Luger with G.M.S.G. stamped on the chamber is one of the more fascinating discussed in my forthcoming book. It was also discussed several years ago in this thread: http://luger.gunboards.com/showthread.php?t=9343. As stated in both references, I believe the marking is from the GroÃ??herzoglich Mecklenburg-Schwerinische Gendarmerie, the Imperial-era rural police of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

I don't know who the seller is and have no financial or other interest in the sale. The seller is asking way too much for my budget despite my fascination with the mark.
