Imperial Navy Lugers have been collected with cult-like obsession for the last 50 years; they are one of the most sought after of the 20th centuries military firearms. There is even a “List” of these Lugers that the members of this Cult have created and actively curate to vet all the known examples, in order to ferret out the many,many fakes and pretenders. We are happy to report that this pistol is on said list and is pedigreed. This certainly is a prime example of the most Famous Luger Variant there is.
