SOLD NAZI STEYR HAHN 1912 POLICE EAGLE L 9m/m PARABELLUM RARE 1937 REBUILD

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” Police acceptance stamped.  Most of the pistols were WW1 Austrian military pistols that bear production dates and markings from that war, but this example was actually converted using a pistol that was completely re-manufactured in 1937 and so stamped on the left trigger guard.  The slide appears to be a matching numbered replacement slide and it is not unlike the pistol pictured on page 246 of Axis Pistols.  This example is all matching and has an excellent bore and we would rate the condition at 95% .  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 military round.
