Very nice Luger and accompanying rig!

How does one tell if it is a Portuguese contract Luger??? Is it just the serial number???

You can only tell by the serial numbers and the block letter. They go from 149m to 5322m. There is no other difference from the ones that went into German military service.

A few that were destined for Africa service were parkerized in Portugal.
