The metal surfaces of this 1917-dated and Weimar 1920 property-dated pistol retain about 85% arsenal refurbished rust blue with most of the loss due to a few small patches of moderate pitting along the left side barrel, sideplate and frontstrap along with high edge wear, some scattered spots of light oxidation staining and gripstraps toning to gray-brown patina. The small parts retain good straw color, silvering along the safety along with some light oxidation staining while the sear spring and toggle pins show pale fire blue. All markings remain intact and clear, the barrel is an arsenal replacement during refurbishment and is stamped only with the serial number. The checkered hardwood grips remain in about good condition showing some darkened areas of oil soaking, worn checkering and a small chip on the left panel below the safety. The left panel is stamp-numbered to the gun and the right appears to be un-numbered. As is typical, the magazine safety has been removed while the sear safety is intact, all of the serialized parts are matching including the grooved firing pin and the action seems to function well mechanically. Included with this pistol are two matching police magazines, 1934-dated holster and multi-tool. The magazines are bright-bodied with aluminum bases marked "1 / 3518" and "2 / 3518" and with "(Eagle) / L" police stamps. Magazine one is a desirable early Haenel Schmeisser Patent example and is also stamped with a police eagle on the body after the patent marking. The magazine show some light corrosion on the bases and some scattered spots of light pitting along the bodies, otherwise rating very good plus. The Luger tool is unmarked and rates very good showing some light pitting, oxidation staining and remnants of original blue. The black leather holster is by Carl Heinichen of Dresden and dated 1934 showing clear interior markings and "(Eagle) / WaA105". The holster remains in very good plus to very fine condition, the finish toning to a deep brown in some areas with light crackling along the lid and strap along with some other scattered light handling marks. The wide internal tool pouch strap and back surface of the main body are both stamped with a large "4", the buckle is intact and all stitching remains strong. A solid example of a police rework Luger that has seen long service, even more desirable with its matching magazines.
