1937 S/42 Military Issue Mauser Firing Pin

CJS57 · 11-12-2013, 08:12 AM

I am the seller of the gun. Thanks for all the good words. It is a very nice gun! A matching firing pin will come along on ebay eventually. The un-numbered pin could be forced matched easily, but that is cheating! That's why I didn't do it. I sold the gun because I found a similar 1937 2 matched mag "Rig" in even stronger condition. And then another 1937 with strawed parts variation showed up as well. Three 1937's were more than I needed so this one had to go! A great gun that came from a veteran's family to a local gun shop, but no history on it. To the purchaser: Thanks! And I think you will like it, I know I did! By the way this gun looks much better in person! The digital pictures show every little thing that you do not see in real life viewing.

Lovely late 1937 Luger - one to cherish. You did well in my opinion.

@CJS57 Thanks for the info. When I posted the pictures I had thought to myself, I wonder if the seller is on this board. My father-in-law is actually signing for the gun. He told me that he had just bought a gun from you and even talked to you on the phone. Now, he has bought a few guns lately so he may be mistaken. At any rate if this is true he had all good things to say about you so thats why we bid on the gun. Now I just need to learn some more and find him a gun... at least that's what I have been tasked with.

Good gnus for you and bad gnus for me.

I thimk you have the side plate from my '37 s42. mine is all matching except for the side plate that ended up on your Pistol. Und zo, I will trade you my sideplate, a bag of leftover Halloween candy, 3 bags of last years beef jerky and a partridge in the pear tree, iffin I kin git it. Nice find and well done Sir.
