AH! If it is the spring that's broken that can be replaced while keeping the main part with it's number. Don't worry about asking questions. We LOVE to look at lugers and ponder on some mysteries.

Like: Wonder what happened to the finish on this one? The grips appear to be genuine, but not to this model. Are there little fibers inside the screw holes?



1937 was a transition year for many parts/procedures.. Sometimes things got mixed up. Your's should have strawed small parts being in the range, 4500p-1500t. Which makes me wonder about an older refinish. Early 1937s didn't have the Mauser hump, then some did, later all did.

Your mag is a type 3 army, 1939-1941. Correct would be a type 2, 1936-1940. This one has a slant bottom, coil spring, blued with a solid aluminum bottom.
