I disagree with the final statement that these are the most historically significant Thompsons .... Colt Chopper has leveled that playing field AND in private hands. I got dizzy reading the description.

Type 1906 Luger,1st contract between the Dutch army and DWM. The fact that the Dutch proof mark is on the right side of the receiver signify's 1st contract. The order was for 1,391 pistols placed May 1911 and delivered the next year.This one is in really good shape ,Dutch Lugers were exposed to lots of salt air and moisture. as they were shipped to the Dutch East Indies. It was common practice to replace the barrels every 6 to 7 years and stamp the service date on the barrel. The fact that it has the brass tag tells us it was not an officers pistol. Marks on tag MLdep = Central Java Depot ( Magelang Java ) The rig is a 2nd type m-11 holster. The Dutch army wanted the Luger mags to be field serviceable therefore an intricate latch was incorporated in the wooden base to allow for disassembly. Damn hard mag to find. Very nice. I will give you $200. for the set.
