10/23/17 - This is a nice, original 1934 Mauser that was issued to the Nazi Navy. It is a 1st variation Navy, as indicated by the N property number, serial range, and the style of Eagle/M proof on left side frame. The high-polish blue rates at about 95%, with muzzle wear on both sides and two spots of finish loss - one on front strap, one area on right side slide. There were only 8,000 of this variation produced, with Crown/U proof on slide and N property marked on strap (#3597). Commercial Mauser magazine. Nice grip with no cracks or chip. Minty bore.
