Part of the early German re-armament program under the recently-ascended Nazi Party, the "K" date Lugers were manufactured in 1934 in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Fixed sights, with the "K" date on the chamber, "S/42" code on the front toggle link, and "S" proof stamps on a number of components, along with "S][91" on the extension, "B][90" stamps on the extension and barrel and "droop wing eagle" firing proofs on the barrel, extension and breechblock. Some small parts are straw finished, with niter blue pins and screws, and a bright finished alloy base magazine marked "S/5409/+/B][90". Aside from the magazine, numbers are matching overall, including the grips.

Fine, with 70% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina, bright edge wear, mild spotting and light handling marks. 50% of the original straw color is present on the small parts, with a gray patina on the remainder. The grips are also fine, with some minor scattered dings and flat spots. Mechanically excellent.
