It's always fun to find a nice 41-42 Luger. one thing I might point out is that 7000 is an old number. Research has found the production of these pistols to be closer to 15,000. The 1940-42 Lugers occupied the first 2500 serial numbers in the early - n - block. After that it was all 41-42 Lugers. This in itself was 7500 pistols. Thank Frank for his - n - block research, he convinved me there were no 41-byf Lugers in the - n - block leaving only 1940-42 in the early part and the rest being 41-42 Lugers. After the - n - block there will be many 41-42 Lugers to be found that were assembled along with the 41-byf Lugers in the - o - and - p - block and a very few in the - r - block, even one reported by R Gibson in the ns block of 1942.
