Since you two seem pretty much up the 1939 Lugers, let me ask your opinion on this one: I have a 1939 S/42, u block. I got it from the vet about 30 years ago. It has the mid type proof on the breech block and late type on the receiver. It is maybe 85-90% finish, all very even and well matched. The parts match in number and style (except the mag). Could this be an "out of sequence" production, a very late (fluke) S/42 1939, or could two Germans cleaning Lugers of different year dates but same last two digits have mixed up toggles (early in the game as the somewhat worn finish is very consistant and the US vet said he never fired it)?
