I have found a luger in my area. I am new to this weapon but have always been intreuged by them. It has a S/42 on the toggle, "1939" chamber inscription. On all the parts that I saw, I did not ask for it to be broken down, the last two digits were on the parts. It had a stock lug. The grips had good checkering but were almost black. There were a couple of chips on the edges. The markings had an eagle over a 63 on the right side and a very small stick eagle on the barrel. All the markings seem to be the same or very close to the 1938 luger that FTroop posted on 12/12/01. My major concern is the pitting on the right side of the weapon. It covers about 40% of that side. The bluing is still complete, it is like rust I've never seen. The bore is very clean. The seller wants $500. I could use some expert advice. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from someone.
