Aaron,

You are on the right track. The info on your 1937 is spread through out the Military forum and New Collectors board. You can do a search (upper right) and unlike some search engines on gunboards, John's is lightning quick. Put in 1937 mauser and see what comes up.

Many times a good cleaning of breakfree or Hoppes #9 gun oil will make your luger look much diffferent. Take the grips off carefully, undo the screws, push from the inside of the magazine well and at the same time pull from the outside, then clean the pistol very well (do not use anything abrasive or "clean" to much. Just use soft cloths, an old toothbrush, oil and she'll be much cleaner.
