Dutch Luger

The crown/W is not a proof but a property mark. The Dutch didn't see a need to proof the guns when the countries where they originated from had very effective proof laws of their own.

ps: Information about Dutch Lugers in Lugers at Random is erratic at best. Martens & De Vries 's 'The Dutch Luger' is completely based on surviving Dutch archive material.

Yes quite right the crown/w is not a proof but a property mark .
I will have a look for any proof marks on the barel or elseware.

Indeed Martens & de Vries is an excellent piece of original research .

Do you have any Lugers of your own , if so what models ?
