Sold MAUSER BANNER 1936 DUTCH NAVY LUGER ULTRA RARE

AS WITH ALMOST ALL DUTCH LUGERS THE QUESTION IS NOT HAS IT BEEN REWORKED, BUT HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN REWORKED? THIS ONE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN KEEL HAULED ONLY ONCE. WE HAVE A VERY RARE DUTCH CONTRACT 1936 MAUSER BANNER COMMERICAL LUGER THAT HAS THE DUTCH “RUST” MARKING FOR SAFE AND IS DUTCH NAVY MARKED ON THE FRONT GRIP STRAP. THIS WAS A WW2 VET BRINGBACK FROM EUROPE SO IT WAS ISSUED TO THE EUROPEAN DUTCH NAVY AND DID NOT GO THE THE DUTCH EAST INDIES. AS YOU CAN WELL IMAGINE THIS IS QUITE A RARE LUGER BEING NOT ONLY DUTCH BUT DUTCH NAVY. ONE CAN ONLY WONDER WHO USED THIS PISTOL DURING THE WAR, WAS IT THE FREE DUTCH OR THE GERMANS.
