Description:

This is an excellent, original example of an early pre-WWII German "G" date Luger pistol, that was manufactured by the Mauser factory. These "G" Lugers were all produced during the time of the early rearmament by the Nazi with the "G" date being the secret code for 1935. The top of the chamber has the single "G" date with the "S/42" Mauser code on the front toggle. The right side of the barrel extension has the early "eagle/63" droop wing acceptance proof, next to the boxed "B/90" proof and single Eagle firing proof. The underside of the barrel has the serial number and bore diameter, along with the single "Eagle/63" Waffenamt proof and a single Eagle fining proof. It is correctly marked "Gesichert" and "Geladen" in the safety area and extractor. It has the correct military style serial number placement with the full serial number on the frame, barrel extension and barrel, with the last two digits on the various small parts. These Lugers have a fixed front and rear sight and it is complete with a single nickel plated, unmarked magazine that has an aluminum base that is marked "7686/d/Eagle/63".

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall with 99% of the original blue finish overall. The various small parts retain 95% of their straw colors. The grips are both in excellent condition overall with nice checkering on both sides. As noted it has matching numbers on all the parts to include the magazine, except the grips which are unnumbered. An excellent early example of scarce "G" date luger pistol.
