12 Major Variations of Military Mausers
 

To go along with the 6 G-Date variations, the picture shows all 12 of the Military Lugers made by Mauser. The 1937(1) is rust blued, while the 1937 (2) is the hot dipped blue variation. Enjoy :)

Thank you, Frank! Nice racks too.

Again, great stuff! My very first Luger was a 41 byf.

Outstanding, made it a sticky in the archives.

Frank,

You just love to tease us, don't you?

What I would give to have had the knowledge and opportunity to assemble a collection like this.....

Luger six-packs
 

Nice collection! My wife is always asking me:
What do you wish for X-mas?
Well, I want those 2 Luger six-packs:rockon:

Frank

Hi Guys, thanks for your kind words. It took a few years to get all 12 in 95+ percent original condition.

Eric, The total number of variations, including the sub-variations and not counting the "odd ball" variations are as follows:

K-Date 4
G-Date 6
1936 2
1937 4
1938 2
1939 S/42 1
1939 42 4
1940 1
41 42 2
41 byf 3
42 byf 2

Total 31

In addition, the "odd ball" variations are that I have identified are:

K-Date combinations of Set Back Front Sight and Mauser Hump Frames
Late G-Date with Full Radius Barrel Band
1936, Large S in S/42 with Sharp Radius in Barrel Band
1936, Large S in S/42 with Full Radius in Barrel Band
41 byf, Without Bore Guage Barrel Marking

Now there are probably a few more that i haven't identified, but I'll keep looking. And enjoying every minute ofthe search!! :D

Frank
Excellent display and presentation of your Mauser Military Variations.

By counting the sear safety police, Navy, right receiver acceptance stamp, walnut or bakelite grip, variations for each date/code Luger the number of variations is higher, see thread below:

Mauser military code variations http://luger.gunboards.com/showthrea...ser+Variations

Note: a few acceptance stamp variations combined with police or Navy variations results in some double counting.

Thanks for the kind words!!

Jan, my count represents Mauser Military, not police, navy, banner, KU, etc.!!!

What a nice set!
Congratulations.
Mauro

That is one impressive collection!

byf 41
 

Ron:

My second Luger was (and is) a byf 41 and it is my most accurate Luger to date!
