Ben,
For the moment Your Luger SN 1039v is classified as a:
- Oberndorf 1934 (assembled by Mauser), having three distinctive properties that are not found on the 38 pistols reported before:
1. The serial number on the left receiver is stamped after the proofing and blueing
2. It has an orginal looking barrel with a 7.65mm caliber
3. It has a sear safety (Police issue); normally not found with this caliber.
If you can take some more close pictures I would like to see:
- detailed pictures of the barrel-receiver junction with the witness mark
- close up of the SN stamp on the left receiver
The two matching magazines are very nice - the wooden bottoms are not damaged and they confirm the early issue to the German Police.
