*FINE 1936 DATED S/42 CODE (MAUSER) LUGER PISTOL WITH TWO MAGAZINES TOOL AND HOLSTER.

SN 9684n. Cal. 9mm. Fine German military Luger with 4″ bbl and orig front sight. Chamber area of the receiver is marked 1936 and toggle link has the S/42 code. Mounted with full checkered walnut grips. Small parts are straw colored. Accompanied by two matching numbered magazines, one with a (+) mark. Also accompanied by an orig brown leather hard shell holster marked on the back “FR & K.VOEGELS / KOLN-DEUTZ / 1936”. There is also a large eagle over Wafenampt “WaA387”. According to Lugers at Random, Kenyon, there were several thousand of these pistols produced 1936-1940. By 1936 the Nazis apparently felt they were powerful enough that they no longer had to conceal the manufacturing date of their Lugers, however they still applied a code for Mauser. Although these pistols are somewhat more common they are almost never found with two matching magazines and an orig dated holster. Undoubtedly this pistol saw service throughout WWII. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus, all matching including firing pin, grips are unnumbered. Grips are also crisp and new and fit very well with no hand oil staining and only a few chipped diamonds with faint diamond point wear. Mechanics are crisp; brilliant shiny bore shows no evidence of having been fired. Tool retains a phosphate finish. Magazines show light wear. Holster shows moderate wear with fading and crinkling on the flap, has never been polished. 4-56130 (5,000-7,500) – Lot 2189
