37 S/42 input

Would check the suffix since c is out of the 1937 range. Need better pictures to tell you much. However from the present pictures it looks pretty good. I would not bet on it being refinished. Bill

Hi again, That suffix is hard to make out. Try rubbing a little talcum powder in, and taking another photo. I am almost certain the finish is original. Regards

Hard to rub talc on a picture............that's all I got Norme. Can we think about what it should be?
I see a 1937 S/42, sn 9440a, SE/63 SE/63 MTP in the Data Request thread. Could be an "a"

Updated....In contact with the owner and he is for sure it is a "c" on this pistol.

Hi, It looks like a b but thats out of the range. t or u are possibilities. Regards

Current owner (who was born in Germany and is familier with the script) swears it is "c". I will just have to wait and see. I have seen odder things than this before, haven't we all?
