1939 "42" code Mauser..price please?
 

Today I have been offered a rather nice 1939 "42" code Mauser Luger. All matching numbers, excellent bore with matching number mag.
85% original blue with some holster wear.
Comes with a non matching 1916 military holster but has second matching magazine, no stripping tool.
Price is NZ$1500 which is about US$690 for the lot.
Prices for WW2 Lugers is not my field as I really collect WW1 as they are easier to come by down under here.
Sorry but no photos as yet but will post some once I have some.
Any suggestions please.

Murry, With 2 matching mags and matching, even with 80+% original finish, the 1939/42 PO8, would be over $1000 here in the states. PS Did you received the Interarms holster yet? Tom H.

Many thanks Tom,
I have decided to buy the 39/42, you can,t have too many Lugers can you.The trouble was that I am also drooling over a 1936 S/42, 80% original finish, all matching numbers including both mags, in it's correct dated holster and stripping tool,which is coming up in an auction soon.
So many Lugers, so little time.(and money)
No, I havent received the holster yet, but remember that I live on a very remote island in the South Pacific and all of our mail has to go via the New Zealand mainland.Also we are on rural delivery and there is no mail in the week ends.
Should be here next week.
Regards to you all.

Tom,
The Holster arrived this morning (Monday 4th) and it is exactly what I wanted. Both gun and spare mag fit perfectly and all I need now is a stainless steel cleaning rod, although I have no idea what it would look like. I might have to make one.
Many many thanks for your help.
Another satisfied customer.
Regards,

Murray.
