Historic NZ 1918 DWM

Slight mistake,
The serial number is actually 59f not b.
This would place the production in mid 1918.
Interesting fact is that of all the Lugers I own which is only a mere 45 or so, this is the most crisp and in brand new condition that I have ever owned. When you hold it, the grips and steel is almost sharp and cutting. There is no wear what so ever, and considering it is 84 years old.
I doubt that it was ever out of the holster.
I will try and post a photo or three.
Regards
Murray.
