Hi Ken, It looks like an honest, unmessed with gun to me. The See Batallion property marking is both scarce and desirable. What else do you want to know?
Regards, Norm

Thanks I appreciate the help. Should the firing be numbered? How bad is the value effected by one grip panel not numbered and the magazine not matching? What do you think would be a fair price to pay for this gun in the condition it's in. Does the ISB mean sea battalion?

Hi Ken, Firing pins on Imperial Navy Lugers were unnumbered. The one unnumbered grip is no big deal. If you can buy this gun for less than $2,500.00 you're doing well.

Thanks I am going to buy it. I feel much better about getting it after your input. Any hints on cleaning it and preserving it? I know you shouldn't use steel wool or anything abrasive.
