S42, 1936, P-08 original?

If those small parts are not a "urine" yellow or worn to unfinished steel, and are blued, the pistol has been refinished at some time.


I have not seen a salt blued S/42 1936 date luger that was original although there were probably some made to test the new finishing process that Mauser adopted for military contract lugers in 1937.


The one you saw is refinished and not original. I am a bit bugged that the seller swears it is original finish without providing incontrovertible proof of such. What gall is that to make claims that you can not substantiate and in this instance appear to be falsehoods?
