Portuguese M2 question

Sn 4460 is referenced in the old Lugers at Random book as being highest SN known.

This is likely where the 5000 produced came from

It is my understanding that roughly 1000 M2's were transferred to the Navy, these guns may or may not have had the M2 crest and may help explain the missing 1000 guns

So you may have a scattering of M2's in the higher ranges but most went to the Navy.

all of this is theory and no one has proven it as of this date but obviously more than one collector has come across this before but no follow through.

Some research is needed:

Interesting.

For those of you tracking this there are more than one variation of M2 crest.
