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, and checkered grips. The pistol includes two matching, nickel finish magazines with alloy bases marked "242/m/eagle/63" and "242/m/+/eagle/63" respectively. Also included is a black pebble grain pig skin leather holster.

Very fine, 70% plus original blue finish remains with areas of high point and edge wear, some small surface scratches, and thinning to a gray patina on the grip straps. The grips are also very fine with mildly worn, mostly crisp checkering, and some small dings and bruises. Mechanically excellent. Holster is fine with some exterior scuffs, tight stitching, and overall solid construction.
