S/42 help
 

Hello

I was wanting to see if I could get some help on this s/42 on guns america http://www.gunsamerica.com/957280423..._1938_S_42.htm the S looks suspicious too me I dunno. Also if it does look legit is this a fair price

Thanks

Hello Go!! Welcome!! The "S" looks okay to me, but the price is a little high. However, if the Luger is 97%, with a real two matching magazines, a nice 1938 holster and a small E/63, it's close! Hope this helps.

Thanks alot I'll try to get him down some it is a nice luger

Nice rig. The finish is original, notice the extracter which is in the red, a trait of 38 dated Mausers. Just compared to 'S' to that of my 1938 S/42 and it's absolutely correct. Is it worth the $3400? The Luger market is very soft right now, so that's pretty objective, but it's a sound investment and a nice (rare) example so you probably can't go wrong. I'd be most concerned with the authenticity of the two matching mags and want to have a look at those numbers, that's where you most commonly see faking.

thanks for the info...What would be clues to the mags being correct or fake?
