Well, after a life-long desire to add a Luger to my collection, I finally got one. I've been longing for a Black Widow (I know that hits a nerve with some members) and purchased one last week. It is a 1942 Mauser complete with holster, two black bottom fxo magazines and a tool. The holster is marked "eof" over 1941 with a WaA 195 inspection stamp. The Luger is serial number 1744d with a bore gauge stamp of 8.81. All parts are correctly numbered. Here are a couple photos with a couple of questions. The grips look like the original bakelite to me, can someone confirm? The waffenamts seems to be lightly stamped. Is that unusual?
