Description

IN NEW IN THE BOX CONDITION FROM 1972 WE HAVE THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE IMPERIAL GERMAN NAVY LUGER. FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES THIS IS A MODEL 1906 NAVY LUGER. THIS GUN COMES IN THE ORIGINAL HIGH GRADE TAN LEATHER FITTED CASE WITH ALL THE ACCESORIES IN CLUDING A COPY OF JOHN WALTHERS LUGER BOOK. THERE WERE ONLY 250 OF THESE SETS EVER MADE AND ONLY A VERY FEW WERE SHIPPED OVER BY MAUSER TO INTERARMS. THIS EXAMPLE IS THE VERY LOW NUMBER OF 12 OF 250 AND WAS OWNED BY ONE OF THE SENIOR EXECUTIVES OF INTERARMS. TODAY, THESE GUNS ARE AS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER AS ANY OTHER GERMAN NAVY LUGER AND THEY ARE RARELY OFFERED FOR SALE OR EVEN SEEN. BACK IN THE 1970’S WHEN I WAS A KID, I CAN REMEMBER READING IN THE GUN MAGAZINES WHAT A BIG DEAL THESE GUNS WERE. WHILE ALL OF POST WAR MAUSER MADE LUGERS ARE NOW HIGHLY COLLECTABLE, THIS WAS THE PENULTIMATE EXAMPLE, A PURE CELEBRATION OF THE LUGER PISTOL AND ALL OF IT’S MYSTIQUE. THIS MAY WELL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO OWN THIS PIECE OF LUGER LORE.
