Sorry folks, I was slightly mislead!
I got a chance to examine the piece and it turns out it was a 41/42, no grip safety, no Mauser banner. I asked the gentleman about the grip safety and he said he thought there was one on it, extending from the back of the grip. I suspect there may have been some dysfunction with the eyes.
Anyway, I appreciate all of your efforts and am sorry to 'cry wolf' prematurely. I suppose it is as the saying goes "If it's too good to be true, then it probably isn't".
I did go ahead and get the 41/42, couldn't pass on it, condition is all matching and about 95%. Mag doesn't match, but has the markings that fit it to this particular variation. I'll try and get some photos up on the military luger section.
Thanks all, barr
