1938 S/42 with matching mags.
 

I purchased this a while back from a family friend. I gave what I thought was a fair price, compared to outrageous estimate they had gotten from a local gun shop.
It belonged to a relative who passed away last year. He didn't bring it back, it was likely acquired by him back in the late '40's or early '50's when he had a "trading post" in Alaska. Everything matches and it shows mostly holster and handling wear.
When the relative passed apparently it was quite a chore to clean out his house. The family knew he had many firearms including the Luger. I was told that after much searching the Luger was found in a garage attic in an old airline flight bag. It was accompanied by two other pistols that were rusted beyond redemption. All the pistols were loaded as well.
Miraculously, in spite of being stored in the holster for years, the Luger was in good condition showing only some minor freckling on the finish.

A few more images. The "million dollar chip" is only a "half million", the wood is still there under the safety.

Oh yeah, and the holster. I posted some images of this before. Hans Romer 1940. Pity, it's faded but really in solid condition. :(

Nice original Luger.

Thanks. A lot of 5's and 7's with this pistol!
Now I just need to invest in a better holster.

Yes, those matching mags are a big plus. Cheers.

Exquisite find! Now...where did I put that drool bucket?

Thank you sir!

Remarkable condition! Especially after being found in a bag with a couple of rusted guns...

Hugh Clark can fix your half million dollar chip like it was never there... I'd contact him asap.

Homerun!

Thank you John, I may just do that!
