This is truly a rare example of an excellent, original 1934 Mauser production, "K" date "S/42" code military Luger pistol with an original matching magazine and 1934 dated black leather holster. The "K Date" P.08 Lugers were manufactured in 1934 and represent the very first German Army luger contract pistol. The "K" date was the first secret wartime code that was intended to conceal Germany's rearmament in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. These early Wehrmacht P.08 pistols have an extremely low survival rate as almost all saw extensive service use, an example in original condition are among the most desirable Nazi Luger pistols. This example is classified as a Sub-variation 2 that has the mixed script and gothic markings. There were only 3,550 total of this variation produced out of the estimated 10,930 K-date Luger pistols. These pistols are found in the 1,700-5,250 serial number range, putting this example about in the middle of the production. This example has the standard Script "K" date mark on the chamber area with the mixed Script/Gothic "S/42" on the front toggle with the Gothic "S" marked toggle. It has standard military marked serial number on the major parts with the mixed Script/Gothic proof marks. The right side of the barrel extension has the Script "S/early boxed "O/37" acceptance stamps as used by the Mauser Mauser factory along with the single Eagle firing proof, with the left side of the barrel extension numbered "2663". The underside of the barrel is numbered "2663" and the left side of the barrel has the single "boxed O/37" acceptance proof with a small single Eagle firing proof on the right side. This Luger is fitted with a set of walnut grips, with the left one is correctly numbered (63), while the right side is unnumbered, however a veteran's name and service number has been written and scribed on the bask side. It is marked "Weatherly/37054377". The pistol has a "Type 1 Army" magazine with a nickel-plated magazine body with an aluminum base stamped with a "Gothic/S over 2663/+/O/37" acceptance proof.
