[Italy] Found a Luger on a lake bottom.

okay, it has a unit marking on the grip, so this brings up some intersting thoughts...

Sear safeties were put on AFTER 1932, but magazine safeties were taken off after 1935...

The marking S/42 was on slightly later guns as said above...

Unit markings were no longer allowed after a certain point.

I wonder if this is a put together gun, AFTER WW2 and was disposed of by someone...
