To All,

I have a 42/1939 wartime Luger. It was a vet bring back, all matching including mag, shows plenty of carry wear, and came with its original holster. I say original holster because the wear from gun to holster is the same. This Luger looks like it march around Europe for a while. If it could only talk. One side of the barrel is almost egg shape from rubbing against the inside of the holster. Talk about honest wear...

Anyways, my question is about "Grips". Do 3rd Reich Lugers have the last two digits stamped on the grips? I can only find the letters R Q stamped on left grip. Nothing on the right. The grips look old, smell old, fit the gun like they have been on it for years. The gun appears all original so I hope the grips are too. Whats the deal on grip markings?

Sincerely

Bob

P.S.Yes I order Jan Still book. Till it gets here I appreciate hearing from you folks...
