PO8 Mauser Luger Proof Marks???

ap1169 · 10-19-2023, 05:49 PM

I just purchased a Mauser Luger in a Semi Phosphate finish with a box with SA in it on the slide and a circle with a triangle and n up side down T? Does anyone know what these markings mean? Is this a rare pistol? Only numbers on the trigger, barrel and slide, no other numbers on this firearm? Thank you very much for your help. Please email me for pictures. I don't know how to upload them from photos. Robert

Sounds perhaps like a Finnish gun that has been refinished. But the photos will help tell the tale.

Yup. Finnish Luger with Tikka barrel.
Collectable.
