Portuguese Navy Lugers

I would like to add a couple of pictures to this post for information; as most references are of pretty poor quality.

The chamber marking is of interest as it shows 3 chevrons in the center 3 sections, and two on the outside sections on the upper portion of the anchor. Please note how the rope winds around the anchor and how the rope stops before it intersects the lower portion of the anchor.

The serial number on the barrel and the Ã¢??MPÃ¢?Â proof have a halo but not the frame serial number. The complete serial number is stamped on the bottom on the receiver.

Research indicates that the Ã¢??MPÃ¢?Â proof stopped around the 500 serial number on the RP Lugers. It is not clear as to why this happened. This is exactly mid way in RP Luger serial numbers and raises several questions.

Any information on this would be appreciated?

I hope this post helps those who may be interested in purchasing one of these Lugers.

These Portuguese Navy Lugers are not thoroughly researched, if anyone has additional information please forward to me and I will share likewise.

Thanks again for everyoneÃ¢??s help!

Vern
