Re: S42, 1936, P-08 original?
Gruss Gott one and all!
I have fairly recently aquired an
S42- 1936 and all appears to be of original manufacture. All parts have
matching numbers( with the exception of the magazine,of course).The trigger,
takedown & safety levers are all "strawed". I was curious if this finish
has a truly functional purpose or if it
was done to simply please the eye, which
I must admit it does! I find it hard to
believe it was done for purely cosmetic
reasons on a military firearm even if I do find the result asthetically pleasing. If anyone would be so kind as to clue this novice in as to the"straw"
affect,I would like to know just out of
somewhat idle curiousity.Thanks!
Tschuss! Mark
