S/42 Books?
 

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum, so feel free to move this thread. I posted some pictures my '37 S/42, and there has been some great analysis by the other members of this forum. I would like to get a book for some more information. Specifically, I'm looking for something more about the pre-WWII Lugers, especially if it has any info on the methods and processes used by the factories. I'm less interested in a listing of all of the one of a kind variations, and more of an overview. All I have right now is a "Pocket Guide to Lugers" or something like that, so pretty much anything would be an improvement. :rolleyes:
Thanks for the help,
Turner

Turner,

You might want to buy Jan Still's book on Weimar lugers...you can buy directly from the author at this web site :

It is the best reference on Weimar and early Nazi lugers...but I do not think you will find any factory manufacturing process info...not sure if any book readily available has that...

Hi,

The most detailed production related info I found was in Goertz's 'Die Pistole 08'. This book is only available in the German language, however.

If you want to get one on your 1937 though, allthough "pre"-ww2, you want Third Reich Lugers by Jan Still, as Weimar doesn't cover that model / years.
