serial #4985, 9mm, 4'' barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing some fine frosting but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this K-date pistol retain perhaps 60% original blue, strongest on the receiver and in the protected areas, with the balance toned to a smoky gray-brown patina with a few light handling marks. The strawed parts retain very good color with edges toning to a silvery patina, greatest on the trigger face and safety, and the toggle pins and sear spring retain vibrant fire blue. The checkered walnut grips are in about very good condition with areas of light wear and flattened points of checkering, the screws showing remnants of fire blue at the edges otherwise toning to gray; both panels are numbered ''85''. The metal markings are intact and largely crisp, the ''B|90'' and ''S|91'' proofs on the receiver and droopwing firing proof on the barrel somewhat soft but still legible, small parts show the expected mix of script and gothic ''S'', and all the serialized parts are matching to the pistol, including the grooved firing pin; the rear toggle pin is unnumbered. The pistol retains the standard open sights and included is a bright-bodied aluminum-base magazine showing some light handling marks, the base marked ''6028 / a / +'' above a faint ''B|90''. An honest example of these desirable 1934-made Lugers. (14B11728-898) {C&R} (2000/3000)
