One important thing to avoid misunderstandings: there is no "Argentinian Contract Luger". The Armed Forces of that country tested the Luger around 1904-05 but never adopted it as an official sidearm. They choose first the Mannlicher Model 1905 and then, in 1914, went to the Colt Governmental pistol.
What you have here is a Commercial Navy, brought to Argentina by DWM's agent. Much more rare than a standard military Navy, as far as I know. Dwight, from what I can see in the first picture, yes, the gun is BUG proofed. Douglas. Last edited by Douglas Jr.; 01-14-2010 at 08:36 AM. Reason: adding picture |
