unknow luger
 

Hello,

I would .like to buy a luger but i don't know what kind it is.
It is a normal lenght, but there are only a few markings:
On top is 42, on the parts is number 506.
There is also no Geschichert written at the safety pall.
It does have on the grip some attachment to put on a stock.

Does anyone know what kind of luger it is? and the value for used condition?

Thanks

That is a very broad question. which country you are in makes a large difference in finding a luger.


the 42 is a code for Mauser or for the date. Where is the 42 located, on the toggle or the receiver?


See the FAQ here on the site and the Technical section and it might help you a bit, then ask away on questions and we can help.

The 42 is on the Toggle indeed

The 42 on the toggle means the guns was produced by Mauser. What is stamped above the chamber? That will be the year marking.

BTW, it is only necessary to post a question in one forum. I have deleted your other post.

Okay no problem.

There are no more stamps on it, only the serial number with 506.

Then it is a mismatched pistol, there are no 42 toggle guns without a date on the receiver.


In your profile it has your name as Bakel and no location. Was curious as to where you live? You ask for values, but it makes a big differnece from what country.

Thank you for your reaction.

What do you exact mean by, mismatched? Compleet from different lugers to make 1?

But the luger have the same serial number on the parts...

And we life in the south east part of germany

And had all the lugers a stock mount at the grips?

Bakel -

1. When Lugers were made, the gun was given a number. And many parts of the gun also received the same number, or the last two digits of that serial number. So if you have a gun that has parts from several different guns, yes, we do say the gun is "mismatched." A collector will prefer a gun that is "all matching." However, if a gun is mismatched, it can still function fine and be used as a "shooter." Some collectors are hesitant to shoot an all matching gun because if you break one of the numbered parts, it will greatly reduce the collector value of the gun.

2. You may find some Lugers which did not come with the stock mount. The stock mount was an idea that was commonly a part of production starting in 1914.

3. Someone else will have to help you with the value of a Luger in Germany since I am not familiar with the values in your country.
