S/42 markings

ncblksmth1 · 10-29-2012, 12:12 PM

Just got this luger. It has an S/42 Toggle but no markings on the front reciever ring. There are not waffenampt marks on the right fronts side of the slide. There are however unit markings on the front gripstrap. P.T. 16. any body got a clue on this?

All info would be appreciated.

If I had to rub up the old crystal ball, I'd probably guess that it is a WW1 gun with a later toggle. But pictures please, so we can help more.

Look for a number on the toggle, which will almost certainly not match the balance of serial numbers on the gun.
