Help needed to identify luger pistol

I would like to ask for help, as I am trying to identify a 9mm Parabellum luger pistol of the Portuguese royal navy.


The pistol has been in my family since the beginning of the century and I heard the following history about it: my great grand father was an admiral of the Portuguese navy during the last years of the Portuguese monarchy and the begining of the republic. He was in charge of an order of luger pistols for the royal navy and therefore this gun was sent to him as an experiment. In the meantime the monarchy ended in 1910 and the republicans cancelled the order of the guns with the royal crest on them, making this a unique pistol.


I found the Portuguese naval markings in the lugersforum website (Manufacturer Logo 4), but couldn't find the register (around 1910) of a 9mm Parabellum luger of the Portuguese royal navy in the production charts - I only found Portuguese guns in the 7.65 caliber. I have some pictures of the gun which I can send by e-mail.


(here is a sample - Dok)

I don't know if this history is correct and would thank for any help.


Best regards
