In 1936, the third year of Mauser Luger production during the build-up for the Second World War, the Germans discarded the letter code system and went back to just stamping the plain date on the chamber. Blade front and notch rear sights, "1936" on the chamber, "S/42" on the toggle link, "droop-wing eagle/63" proofs on the extension and barrel and "eagle" firing proofs on the barrel, extension and breechblock. Straw finished small parts, niter blue springs, pins and screws, checkered grips and a nickel finished magazine with alloy base. Including the magazine, external numbers are matching.

Fine. 75% original blue finish remains with mild edge and high point wear, some light spotting, and some small nicks and scratches. Straw colors remain 60% intact. The grips are fine with sharp checkering and some small dings. Mechanically excellent.
