Description:

This is a early Nazi Luger pistol, with the top of the chamber is dated 1938 and the front toggle has the wartime code of "S/42", for the Mauser factory. The right side of the barrel extension is stamped double "Eagle 63" Waffenamt proof along with the single Eagle firing proof. It is numbered in the military fashion with the full serial number on the front of the frame, the underside of the barrel and the left side of the barrel extension with the last two digits on the various small parts. With all other markings and features being standard. It is fitted with a set of checkered walnut grips that are numbered with a large number 15 on the back side of each grip. It is complete with an all blued 122/Eagle 37 Waffenamt, marked "fxo" magazine with the aluminum base which has been partially renumbered (7715k) to match the Luger.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 95% of the original blued finish overall with edge and high spot wear overall with slightly more wear on the side plate hump and front edges of the frame rails. There are a few areas of cold blue touch-up on the lower front grip strap and bottom of trigger guard. The grips are in excellent condition with nice sharp, distinct checkering on each one. It has all matching numbers except the magazine which has been renumbered to match. A excellent example of a desirable 1938 dated Luger pistol.
