1940 Swedish Commercial-For Review

[sdmark777]

Hello everyone. Today I have for your consideration, a minty 1940 Mauser Banner Swedish Commercial in .30 LUGER. Serial number 6729w. It has an original all salt blue finish of both the frame and barrel assembly, no rust blue frame. The side of the barrel is not marked Kal. 7.65. Both the blue and straw rate 98%, just a very slight bit of wear at the muzzle and edges All matching except for magazine. Based upon my research, a short range of approximately 200 lugers were contracted to Sweden in the serial range 6100w to 6800w, 1940 dated, 7.65mm-4 inch, with small parts being strawed, several of these have 7.65 inscribed on the barrel. I acquired this several decades ago. I am not sure of current value. Please comment on current top value and any additional info, critique, etc. I believe this is of the rarest batch of Swedes, ie 1940. My knowledge about this block of Banners is from the old 70’s and 80’s Luger Bibles. If there are newer sources or sales lists that you folks are aware of, I would appreciate it as my latest sources date from the 1980's. I am looking for further verification from you experts that this is in fact a Swedish Commercial. If not, then what is it? Thank you all. Fire away…..
