Description:

This is a Mauser P08 Luger pistol that was manufactured in 1937. As noted this model is a later production version that has the all blued finish with the checkered walnut grips. The top of the chamber is dated "1937" and the front toggle has the wartime code of "S/42" for the Mauser factory at Oberndorf. The right side of the barrel extension has the early double droop wing eagle/63 Waffenamt proof next to the single eagle firing proof. It has the standard extractor and safety markings. It is complete with one all blued magazine that is marked on the left side "fxo/eagle37/P08" with an unnumbered aluminum base with the reinforcing pin through the center of the base.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially refinished (cold blue on holster wear points) with 80% of the faded original blue finish remaining, wear and blue loss on the edges and high spots, and some very minor thinning on the grip straps. The grips are in very good condition overall with nice checkering on both sides, minor wear across the top of the checkering, and some minor pressure dents on both sides, but no cracks or damage. The pistol has all visible matching numbers except the magazine as noted above. A nice example of a pre-WWII Luger pistol.
