New Luger purchase

[clubcoz1]

Thanks for responding...considering what little info I possess about lugers, I don't recall ever seeing that s/42 stamp on anyone else's luger. I just assumed someone was trying to pull something in the past. Since the right side upper receiver has a crown over RC, is it safe to assume the barrel replacement was done at Erfurt Arsenal?

Just googled and found a post from phila dated Aug 6, 2023 #9 that he had seen 42, S/42 and E655? stamped barrels and believed they all came out of the Heer Depot...

Had to look up 'Heer'...means army in english...guess I'll have to learn German, too...lol.

Found another stamp on the barrel...left side at about 1:30- 2 o'clock...a stick eagle with two numbers I think...last number is a 3, the first number is heavily buffed out but appears to be either a 5 or a 6...
