This is a desirable example of a 1934 Mauser production "K" date "S/42" code military Luger Pistol Rig. The "K Date" P.08 Lugers were all manufactured in 1934 and represent the very first German Army Luger contract pistol. The "K" date markings were 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 on the Eastern front. Examples 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 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 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 and 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 "B/90 and S/37" acceptance stamps with a single Eagle firing proof. The major components are all stamped with serial number "4931" and the last two digits on the smaller parts, with the "Gothic S" proof on many of the parts. The pistol is complete with two matching "Type 1" nickel plated Army magazines with aluminum bases, both are overstruck with a "Gothic/S over 4931/B/90 and S/4931/+/B90" acceptance proofs. This scarce Luger is accompanied with a equally scarce all black leather 1934 dated Luger Police holster. The back side is stamped "OTTO SINDEL/BERLIN/1934/WaA94".

Very fine with 75% of the faded blue finish overall with wear on the edges and high spots, with browning on the side plate mixed with minor thinning and spotting on the grip straps. The grips are very fine with nice distinct checkering overall. The holster is very fine with exceptional black color overall, tight stitching and clear sharp markings on the back.
