Part of the early post-Weimar German re-armament program, 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, "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 "9182/+/B][90". Aside from the magazine, numbers are matching overall, including the grips.

Fine, with 60% plus original blue finish, showing bright wear along the high edges, along with some shallow pitting, a gray and brown patina forming on the receiver, and mild spotting and handling marks overall. 50% of the original straw color is present with the remainder a gray patina. The grips are also fine with some dings and dark spots. Mechanically excellent.
