·Greetings,
I just aquired a 1938 S/42 Luger with all of the goodies. The goodies include:
1) Holster dated 1940 with the officers name and the Eagle holding the world with the swasticker in the center.
2) Two clips with various markings and non-matching serial numbers.
3) The take down tool with no markings(?).
4) The Luger itself with several markings that I am truly interested in learning the meanings of. All of the parts are marked with the last 2 digits of the serial number, but the lower frame and the upper frames first 2 digits are different. This is odd as the last 2 digits are the same as the rest of the numbers.
5) I also have the paperwork on the pistol and holster claiming them as war trophys and allowing them to return to the US.
6) Also on a personal note, I have a letter written in Europe by the soldier that had it sent to the US to hes father and explaning the history of the weapon.
I would love to have any information that anyone can give me on the markings and the value of this Luger to collectors.
Thanks,
Mark
