No markings on barrel
 

Hello,

I have come across a Luger 1939 42 all matching numbers, but the barrel has no numbers or markings.

I tried to find the answer to my question online, but I cannot. So, does the absence of the ID number and markings mean the barrel was changed at some point?

Thank you

Ric

Welcome Ric.
Yes, it quite likely means the barrel was replaced.
A picture would be a help.

If the barrel was replaced by a German WWll armorer their replacement barrels had inspection stamp on it. The replacement barrel I had had a faint stamp on it that was a eagle over three numbers.

Thank you
 

Hello,

Thank you both for the quick answers.

No markings at all on the barrel, so I assume it is a post WWII replacement.

Many thanks

Check the chamber.

If it doesn't have a step chamber. There is a high probability of being a post war replacement.

Hello,

Here are some pictures

is the frame chromed? I've got the top to go with it, or I've got the bottom for your top.
mine is a g date chrome upper on a mauser non chromed lower. jim

Yes,
Your barrel has been changed. That should not create any problem if done correctly.

The front sight looks like a Finnish sight.

Ric, welcome to the forum.

If you're considering buying this you will want to verify that it fires and cycles properly and that the trigger linkage is properly fitted.

This would be considered a shooter, and should be priced accordingly. $750 or so would be reasonable if all else is correct.
