1937 S/42 serial 5607p, strawed, no hump, unnumbered grips, 90%+ original finish, all matching but mag., which is type 1 unnumbered.

1937 S/42 serial#1066t, all matching, hump, DE63 DE63 MTD. Sold to me as a Russian dip when Mr. Tinker listed a widow's husband's collection several years ago. Don't remember the grips but were not original (replaced with Nills) This is my range shooter, 99% reliable, never changed a spring and will digest anything I feed her. Thanks Ed!

1937 S/42 5925y, all matching. DE63, DE63, MTD. Proper holster and tool

What is MTD? I know, stupid question.

1937 S/N 4725q DE63, DE63, MTP, Strawed, No hump, matching except mag (1602a DE63) and grips
I'm thinking MTP is Mid Test Proof?

Yup
ETP = Early Test Proof

MTP = Mid Test Proof

LTP = Late Test Proof

1937 S/42 S/N 7447u DE63, DE63, MTP, all matching except mags, strawed, with hump, DE 63 on grips, 90% original rust blue finish w. halos, correct holster and tool. Is apparently one of 393 made in this configuration.

Spread Sheet

I added all the data to a xlsx spread sheet so it can be sortable. Hopefully I got it all correct. I also added the last few posts as i wasn't sure if the main list was being updated since 2009. Not sure if all the column names are correct. I was hoping to format the data to some standardization. My hope was that if users included all the Mag numbers we could develop a database of orphaned mags and perhaps reunite with correct lugers. note the file ext is .txt rename to .xlsx to open in excel. V3 Added a few lugers and separated out suffix for sorting

you might also want to add the data from the specimen in this For Sale posting. It is in what appears to be Mint condition... :eek:

I wonder where it has been hiding all these years? :confused:

John,
Its very neat for me, my shooter is Mauser 4222 S (only what, 23 serial numbers away from this one in the WTS ad, perhaps made in the same batch?). Unfortunately, mine has a mismatched toggle train assembly. But hey, at least I get to shoot it because of that.

Roadster 02 11-01-2018 11:19 AM

You would not shoot it if it was matched?

HerrKaiser 11-01-2018 11:25 AM

Not unless it had been reblued or otherwise relegated to “shooter” status. Breaking a part on an all matching gun can tank it’s value

That's why I insert a non-matching toggle before shooting.

Lucky (or unlucky?) for me that’s exactly how I bought this one from G.T. :evilgrin:

Side notes, does anyone happen to have a matching Mauser S/42 toggle train marked with a “22”? And under the SN on the barrel is a very faint and small marking of numbers that appear to read “8.81”
