1937 s/42 questions

Trigger643,
According to Jan Still in "Third Reich Lugers" you're looking at a subvariation 1 that was rust blued and had strawed parts. Later 1937 models were hot salt blued and did not have strawed parts. Rust blue is a much nicer looking finish. I'm not sure about the toggle pins but I believe so. IMO, based on your assessment of condition the piece with the holster is worth the asking price.
