Description:

This is a fine example of an all original, late 1937 production luger that was manufactured by the Mauser factory with the all blued parts. The top of the chamber is dated "1937" and it has the "S/ 42" code marking on the front toggle. It has the early style "Eagle/ 63" Waffenamt proofs on the barrel extension and underside of the barrel. There is a single eagle firing proof also on the barrel extension, barrel and breechblock. It has the standard "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" on the upper safety area and extractor, respectively. It is fitted with standard checkered walnut grips and is complete with one blue unmarked magazine with an aluminum base that is marked '4560n +' with the "Eagle 63" Waffenamt proof. As noted, this model has the all blued finish with walnut grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 85% plus of the original blue finish overall with some general light blue thinning overall. The grips are also in excellent overall condition with nice distinct checkering with some light wear across the tops of the checkering. Both grip panels show a couple of minor handling marks on each side. The luger has all matching numbers except for the magazine itself, a fine example of a 1937 S/42 luger.
