This is a beautiful example of a late 1937 production, "S/42" Mauser Luger pistol rig. This beautiful example is all original and unaltered. These later 1937 dated Lugers have the new improved all salt blue finish. The Mauser factory switched to this finish as a way to speed up production when they were heavily involved in rearming the German Army. 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 barrel. There is a single eagle firing proof also on the barrel extension, barrel and breechblock. It is correctly marked "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" on the safety area and extractor respectively. It is complete with two original matching numbered magazines that have the blue, unmarked folded sheet metal steel bodies, with the aluminum bases that are marked "4359/u/Eagle 63" and "4359/u/+/Eagle 63" respectively. This Luger is also complete with a like new black WWII leather holster. This holster is marked on the back "GEBRUDER KLINGE/DRESDEN/1937/Eagle WaA142" and is complete with an original "Eagle/63" Waffenamt proofed takedown tool.

Excellent with 97% of the original blue finish with just a hint of wear on the side plate hump and the center section of the rear grip strap. The grips are also excellent with sharp checkering overall, with only a couple of minor handling marks with a small pressure dent on the left side directly below the safety lever. The back strap has some thinning and numerous surface scratches. The 1937 dated black leather holster is crisp, in like new condition with crisp markings, all white stitching is in tact and the surface of the leather is excellent with only a couple of minor scratches, one of the best 1937 dated holster this describer has ever seen. As noted this Luger rig has all matching numbers to include both magazines and includes a matching date holster.
