This is an attractive example of a scarce early 1934 'K-Dated' luger pistol as manufactured by the Mauser factory. This example is a very early Sub variation 3 or transitional luger that has both the scripted "S" in the "S/42" code on the toggle and a gothic "S" on all parts. These early 'K' date lugers are extremely rare with an estimate of only 10,000 total produced in 1934 with only 3850 total made in this sub variation. The top of the chamber has the large 'K' date which was the secret code for Luger manufactured in 1934. The right side of the barrel extension has the single large script 'S' proof over the early style 'B/90 and S/91. It has the military style full serial number (5167) on the front of the frame, under side of the barrel, the left side of the barrel extension, with the last two digits of the serial number '67' on the various small parts along with the small Gothic letter 'S' as noted above. It is fitted with checkered walnut grips, both are unnumbered on the back sides, however, the right side carries a partial gothic "S" inspection mark. It is fitted with an unmarked nickel plated magazine with an unmarked aluminum base.

Excellent with 99% of a professionally restored blue finish. This is typical for these early K-date Luger as they saw heavy, extensive use starting the day they were made, through the end of the war. The edges and corners are nice and sharp and the markings are clear and distinct with no signs of over polishing anywhere. This transitional Luger are very unique with both the Gothic and Script markings. The various small parts retain 98% of their restored straw colors. The walnut grips are also in excellent condition with nice sharp checkering overall with a nice medium brown walnut color. This Luger has all matching numbers. A very nice example of a rare, early 'K' date Luger pistol.
