1937 S/42
Hello,
First post, I wanted to get your feedback on this Luger. I've only done some basic research on it, so feel free to correct any of the following. It's a 1937 S/42 early version with strawed parts. Serial number t85, I think strawing was eliminated later in the "t" group. The pins are the blue colored type of bluing. All parts are matching "85" except for the hold-open latch, which is numbered "86". There is some pitting and holster wear, but the finish looks better in real life than in the pictures. I grease-penciled some of the stamps to try to make them show up better. There are a lot of internal inspection stamps. The Gesichert paint was pretty much all gone. I haven't shot it, the bore isn't shiny, but the grooves look sharp. Left grip panel wiggles approx 1/32 of an inch, right panel is tight. No mag, no holster. I would appreciate whatever info you could give on this pistol. I can take additional pictures. I'm trying to decide to keep or sell it. Turner |
