My new 1936 S/42...anybody seen this one before?
I just landed this Luger, and am wondering if it's previous owner frequents this board?
I bought it via a certain online auction site from a fellow in Georgia. Serial number is 8413h. As far as I can tell it's all original and in pretty nice shape. The camera actually shows more imperfections than my eyes can generally see, and the worst blemishes are the slight freckling behind the trigger plate, along with some high edge wear on the muzzle, right side high edges, and the bottom of the trigger guard. I had wanted a 1936 for some time, but hadn't found one in the condition, and price I was willing to accept. Until now. The inside of the grips are marked only with a stamped "A". The bore is shinny, but there is some freckling in there as well, but not bad. I just can't seem to develop good bore photographing skills. Magazine is blued with an aluminum base, marked with S/N 8300h E/63 (or possibly 83???), and no other markings. I'm happy to have finally picked up my '36, and am happy to be able to put this several year search behind me. I'm quite happy with it, and didn't have to pay too much of a premium for the one I wanted, high side of under $2k, but it's pretty obvious someone took some pains to try and find a period correct magazine, and so was a knowledgable collector, as also born out by its preservation...that led me to wonder if anyone here might recognize it? Now to start looking for the '39!
