Outstanding World War II Mauser "42" Code "1940" Dated Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol with "1940" Dated Holster

The chamber is dated "1940," and the toggle is marked "42". Eagle/firing and "eagle/655" proofs are present on the right barrel extension and barrel. Properly marked safety position and extractor. Matching full serial number on the frame (with "i" suffix), barrel extension, and barrel, with the partial serial number (73) on the takedown latch, side plate, sear, safety bar, thumb safety, extractor, toggle, and toggle link. All blue finish with checkered walnut grips and blue aluminum base magazine numbered to a different gun. Complete with a leather holster and extra mismatched magazine. The back of the holster is stamped "FR. OFFERMANN & SOHNE/BENSBERG/1940" and an "eagle/WaA727" proof.

ConditionExcellent. The pistol retains 97% original blue finish with some minor thinning, some minor edge wear, and moderate muzzle wear. There is some pitting at the muzzle and on the side plate. There a couple areas of heavy wear on the right panel; otherwise, the grips are very fine with some scattered minor nicks in the overall crisp checkering. The holster is very good with exception of three holes filled on the back, some replacement stitching, and some minor handling marks.
