Need Help with ID of Luger

Ridecontrol · 02-16-2013, 07:46 PM

This pistol is out of an estate buy.
My interest in the estate was the WW II items so this one is out of my area of interest and knowledge. Can anyone tel me what model or variation this is?

It is all matching including the grips as well as the grip safety marked under the grips.

What are the inspection marks?

I also included a photo of a magazine I found in a box in the same estate.
Navy?..The tube looks to be extruded blue and not nickeled. Any idea here??

Hi Ken, The Navy mag is interesting. The tube doesn't look extruded to me, although it does appear to be blued. I've never seen one like it. Send me a PM if it's for sale.
Regards, Norm

Appears to be a nice commercial 1906. 9mm or .30 cal? Help out my tired eyes. What are the marks on the left side in front of the side plate?
It is a very interesting find. Congratulations!

Really nice 1906 - it is in 9mm isn't it?

Not an american eagle but cool

It is 9mm. The markings are light..."BUG"

It's a Model 1906 Commercial.
Caliber is 9mm from what I read underside the barrel (118,35).
Condition looks outstanding. As far as I remember commercial pistols without the AE over the chamber tends to be rarer than AE pistols.

The extreme lightness of both the receiver and barrel "BUG" stamps tell me an older reblue/restoration.
