serial #8257n, 9mm, 4'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This 1939-dated pistol is one of an estimated 600 military-inspected Mauser Luger pistols procured by the German police and equipped with their ubiquitous sear safety. The metal surfaces retain perhaps 75% original blue showing some high edge wear, gripstraps fading to gray and most of the loss along the barrel which is toning to a deep gray patina. The barrel shows some scattered light pitting as well, some other high edges with minor pinprick pitting and the sideplate with evidence of an old cleaning and toning to a deep plum patina. The ejector is taking on the familiar plum tone and all markings remain intact and strong with proper droop wing eagle firing proofs and ''(Eagle) / 63'' Waffenamts. The checkered walnut grips remain in very good condition with scattered lightly chipped points and dings, the left panel with a small repair behind the safety and both retaining nice fit. The right panel appears to be un-numbered while the left shows matching ''57'' stamped in large font. The grooved firing pin is un-numbered and the remaining serialized parts are matching. The pistol includes a pair of un-numbered bright-bodied brown Bakelite base Swiss magazines. This is a solid example of a desirable police contract pistol for the martial collector.
