The DVM 1906 Navy Luger made for Portugal is one of the scarcer Luger contracts, with roughly 1,000 pistols produced. This example is cataloged as SKU PR37695 in the Lugers category, condition used. The receiver carries the R.P. over anchor marking, the letters standing for Republic Portuguese, which is the stamp that identifies the Portuguese Navy contract guns. The supplier does not list the caliber, barrel length or finish grade, so the photos are the reference for condition.

A pistol like this suits the New Jersey collector who focuses on Luger variations or naval contract arms rather than someone shopping for a range gun. Because it is a handgun, it needs its own Permit to Purchase, filed online through the NJSP system to your local police department, and the dealer runs the State Police background check before release. If you already bought a handgun this month, remember the one-per-30-days rule unless you hold an exemption.
