David, welcome to the forum. I do not know this type of luger well, but off of the top of my head;
1. It is a 1941 Mauser 2. it has a sear safety, which makes it a police banner 3. It has a eagle L, a police acceptance marking 4. matching magazine... |
David, Your #6661X block 1941 E/L Police luger appears to be all correct (in a range from 5801x to 7199x of 1941 E/Ls) and in exc condition with a matching mag and (presumably) Police marked holster, is a bargain @$3000. TH

Edward, Thanks for your input. I still have alot of learning to do in collecting WW2 firearms.

Thank you LugerDoc for your info. I put a deposit down on it the other day. I couldn't live with myself if it got away LOL. I am trying to track down some relatives for some more info/photos of the person who brought it back. Is this holster normally used by the police? I didn't really see any markings on it. Thanks anyway for your help.
Regards David Landis |
David,
The police holsters usually have a different style of closure strap design. I think the holster is of the military style but if it has no markings, it would be a commercial holster for civilan use. Here is a worn police style holster on eBay. You can see the difference in the closure strap design on this example. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...0%3D%26fvi%3D1 BTW...sometimes if you post the State location and name of gun shop (as shown in the photos) openly in a posting, you might find some fellows that "lurk" on the forums may run down and beat you to the purchase...sly old dogs that some may be...;) Present company excluded of course...well in this case you were "safe" as the gun you posted was not a Swiss Luger...so I was not tempted to call the shop with my CC info. :D |
Questions :
1. Anyone know what the little "p" means at the bottom of the magazine well ??? 2. I do not follow Mauser stuff much...is a blued muzzle end correct on this model ??? |
Not answers to the question, but observations regarding them;
My serial #6 - 41 Mauser police, does not have a blued muzzle. Also it does not have the "p" on the magazine well. (for what it's worth, mine have e/655 and e/135 in addition to the e+L on the right side of the receiver. And "41" on the chamber instead of "1941") Nor do it have the upside-down eagle (?) on the front sight.. anyone seen something like that before? |
Steinar,
I have a Swiss Masuer Banner pistol SN 3721v assembled after April 1940 or so that does have the upside-down Eagle/N proof on the front of the front sight block. |
THankyou all for your observations. I wasn't expecting this many responses this soon.
Regards David Landis |
Ominous .... a Nazi Police gun with the number 6661 ...... ;-)

David, I'm no collector, I mostly lurk. This one looked "too good" to me, but the experts like it. Seems like you done good! Congrats.
