Matching-numbered nickel-plated magazine, spotted body, matching-numbered spare magazine, matching-numbered walnut detachable stock with matching-numbered cheek.<\B> Weapon in almost mint condition, presumably unused.
Complete in matching wooden case covered with black leather and key, dimensions 38 x 19 x 9 cm. Handle replaced, inlaid with red felt. Contents: two matching-numbered spare magazines from later manufacture, magazine dummy ("Sperrholz"/plywood) with integrated three-part brass cleaning rod with grease can, two-blade screwdriver, leather-case oil flask, leather-case Vaseline tin, 36 cm brass cleaning rod for use with screwdriver grip.

Serial numbers of Loewe manufacture go as far as approx. 1.100. Afterwards a further approx. 2.000 C 93s were produced in slightly modified form under the "DWM" logo. Production therefore stopped at around no. 3.100. That is why Loewe-manufactured C 93s are rare and sought after, especially so if they come in the original case with accessories.
