NAZI STEYR HAHN 1912 POLICE EAGLE L…….. 9m/m PARABELLUM……VIENNA CITY POLICE MARKED….SHARP

In 1940-41 around 60,000 Steyr Hahn model 1912 pistols were reworked and re-chambered for the standard German 9m/m Luger cartridge. They were issued to the German Police and are “Eagle L” Nazi Police acceptance stamped.  This one is also marked “SW” for SchutzPolizei Wien (Vienna).   Most of these pistols were WW1 era Austrian military pistols that bear production dates and markings from that war, as does this top condition example, which is dated 1914. This pistol is all matching and has an excellent bore and we would rate the condition at 96% .  These pistols are not at all common and we might get in a couple or three a year. They are an important part of any Nazi Pistol collection, especially since they are in the standard 9mm military round.
