Description:

This is a nice example of a late production WWII German Luger that was manufactured by the Mauser factory in 1942. The top of the barrel extension is marked 42 for the year of manufacture and the toggle is marked "byf" which was the wartime code for the Mauser factory. The right side of the barrel extension has the double Eagle 135 Waffenampt proof along with the Nazi Eagle acceptance proof. The right side of the barrel has a very small Eagle acceptance proof and the underside of the barrel only has the serial number with no bore markings. The left side of the receiver is marked "P08" below the toggle, which is correct for these late war production pistols. The various parts are correctly numbered to the pistol, including both magazines, which are the late type three versions with the extruded aluminum base with the center pin, both have an Eagle 37 proof over the matching serial number of the pistol. It is complete with a late type III style black leather holster that is marked on the back "P08, jhz over 1942, over an Eagle WaA ???" Waffenampt acceptance proof and the original Eagle 135 takedown tool.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall with approximately 98% of the original blued finish with minor edge and high spot wear on the side plate hump, front edges of the frame rail, left muzzle and lower corner/edges of the grip frames. The grips are in excellent condition with nice diamonds with some pressure dents and dings on both sides, more on the right side. The holster is in excellent condition with visible markings on back and nice tight stitching overall. As noted, it has matching numbers on all the parts including the magazines.
