1937 S/42 Puzzle???
 

Just completed salt bluing a 1937 S/42. BUT.......this one was a first! Guess why? :confused: <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />

No Mauser bump??

Nope, but good guess! It is much more striking a difference than that!

It came out plum??

Salt blued with strawed parts? KFS

Nope, think BIG!

It's a 45!

Bob, I'll be very surprised if you're not correct about it being a K98k. I've recently purchased a couple of these rifles, and they have many of the same codes as the WWII Lugers. Good job!

BINGO, you are right! IT is a Mod 98 Mauser Rifle. Good detective work!

Ted, Post some pictures. I have a 1937 Mauser 340B target 22 I'd love to have you restore! It's a mini-me K98.
