The third year of Mauser Luger production during the build-up to WWII, in 1936 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 blue, alloy base magazine. Minus the unnumbered grips and mixed magazine, numbers are matching overall. Includes a black leather holster, marked "LEDERWERKE/KARL ACKVA A.G./BAD KREUZNACH/1934" and "eagle/WaA136" on the back. (This holster is appropriate for a k-date Luger).

Very fine with 85% plus original blue finish, some light edge wear, surface scratches, handling marks, and 75% of the bright original straw and nitre blue finishes remaining on the small parts. The grips are also very fine with sharp checkering and a small chip absent under the safety lever. Mechanically excellent. Holster is very good as redyed black with scuffs and scratches, worn closure strap, and repaired, replaced belt loop.
