Mauricio,

Welcome to the Forum, and thanks very much for the information on your 1906 Navy Commercial.

A batch of 1906 Navy Commercials with stock and holster rigs, manufactured probably in 1908, were exported to South America. in 1974 thirteen of these guns were reported from Uruguay, in the range between sn 34027 and sn 37229. Also in this range are found: a Luger marked to J. Canedo, a dealer in Argentina; a Luger engraved and purportedly presented to Jose F. Alcorta (Argentina President 1905-1910); and a number of serial numbers of Lugers reported as registered by the DFAE (Civilian Police of Rio de Janeiro).

Although the date of export is not known, if the Alcorta Luger is authentic it would place the export date between 1908-1910.

It would be useful to know some additional information about your Luger. Is the thumb safety area stamped GESICHERT, SEGURO, or is it polished steel? Is the extractor stamped GELADEN or CARGADO?

Do you have any paper documentation or knowledge of the Luger's original dealer or ownership trail?

The photo of the holster and stock is very tantalizing. We would all certainly like to see more pictures if you could post the.
