1938 S/42 P-08 Side plate markings.

Mike, there are guys on here who have seen thousands of lugers.

I have never seen a german eagle marked there on the trigger guard before, WW1 markings yes.

The sideplate is a WW1

The gun may be mismatched because your dad and another guy got their parts mixed up or it may very well be that a luger was put together by a german armorer on the front before D-Day, although unsure why a luger would be made from 2-4 gun parts that early during the invasion. Anything is possible.

I would like to put this into vol III if you'd like, I give credit to the original author, just would need hi-rez photos sent to my email, 3-4 photos of the gun and other items and any info (like above)
