This is an outstanding early WWII code Luger pistol rig manufactured by the Mauser factory. These were the standard WWII Lugers used by all German forces and are a primary Luger variation in any military collection. This example is even rarer, and it is mated with an original "SS" proofed black leather holster. The back side is marked "E. LUNDSCHLOSS/SOLINGEN/1939/WaA727/Eagle/Wa1", with the three-bent arm "SS" Rune of the 28th SS Division commonly called the "Wallonia Division". This unit served on the Eastern Front and fought almost to the last man. This division finally became know as the 28th SS Panzer Division, Wallonia. The chamber is dated "1939" and the front toggle has the wartime code of "42", for the Mauser factory. The right side barrel extension is stamped double "Eagle/63" Waffenamt proof along with the single eagle firing proof. It is numbered in the military fashion with the full serial number on the major components, with the last two digits (51) stamped on the various small parts. It is complete with two matching WWII magazines that have the unmarked, folded sheet metal magazine bodies with the aluminum bases. The bases are marked "3251/w/Eagle 63" and "3251/w/+/Eagle 63" respectively. This rig is complete with an "Eagle/63" marked luger take down tool. Provenance: The Joe Marlin Hilliard Collection

Excellent with 98% of the original blue finish overall with minor edge and high spot wear overall. The walnut grips are also excellent with nice sharp distinct checkering on both sides. The holster is also excellent with minimal handling marks and tight white stitching. The markings are crisp. Just a beautiful example of a rare and desirable all matching original World War II Luger rig with "SS" proofed holster.
