1940 Mauser Luger Navy rig out of the woodwork

By the way, the Mauser book mentioned is a must have for anyone interested in the Mauser P.08. I just hadn't had time to look at my copy.

I first saw this one about 2 years ago in the house of the vets family. That time I bought mint k43, mint German marked Radom with holster, and German marked FN1922. And the time he did not want to sell this Navy Luger. But I stayed in contact with him for this time, until he called me last weekend and said he is ready to sell. I was at his house very fast.
It is all matching Mauser 1940, navy marked, with one matching clip, and the other navy clip, navy marked holster matched to the gun.
I hope you guys like it as much as I do.

Outstanding Luger! Congrats on one hell of a score

Any chance you can share some pics of the K43?

People are digging too far into this. 100% legit luger IMO. The Navy markings were always added POST production. The wear to that area is gripstrap wear and perfectly normal IMO. A nice and VERY desireable luger rig

It would come closer to being the name or initials of the GI that came into possession of it.

Can you post a pic of it in natural light and not so close? What looks like K-Hz might be an abbreviation for Karl-Heinz

Post 7 shows the holster is very clearly maker & navy marked . Not rare to see holsters marked like that by the GI that brought it home . Also not terribly rare to see the german owner carving his name in the holster . Be thankful it wasn't done to the gun itself . Seen that before . Glad newer info backs your gun up . Really nice it is so close to the last marked one also . Conngrats Dave
