Info on a 1936 S-42, please!

Hi,

What do you mean by "Weimar" proofs? 1936 S/42 proofs are all "Down wing/Droop wing" eagles the Army acceptance stamp would be a Droop Wing Eagle over 63. The Nazi style, or Straight wing/Stick wing eagles weren't used until 1937. It sounds like an honest 1936 S/42. The finish should be a satin rust blue, and the small parts should all be strawed.

Ron,
I'm not sure about Weimer proofs, that is what the seller has told me is on the gun. I did get some info from seller and the gun has been refurbished or reconditoned by the Germans supposedly. He thinks he has it sold so I don't think I will get any more info on it.
However, if I do, I will cont. this post.
Thanks, barr
