S42, 1936, P-08 original?

[Ted]

Mark, the only thing that should be enameled by the factory is the GESICHERT safety marking. Most pictures you see of whitened in S/42 and 1936 etc are added by the owners of the weapons, not the factory. Your weapon in the O block should have strawed parts. Is the inside of the receiver blued or in the white? A blued inside would indicate rebluing. A white inside would indicate orignal (MAYBE)

The small subscript is correct. The 8,81 is the barrel lands diameter (as opposed to the groove or bore diamter) it is slightly smaller than 9mm. PROSIT! Theodor Gruen
