Hi Kurt, I'd like to welcome you to the forum also. Your Dad's gun is a !939 S/42 (made by Mauser) that was fitted with a sear safety, which indicates police use. The aluminum based magazine, stamped #2 is also police issue. The holster, as you know, dates from 1934, and the wood based magazine dates from WW1. Best regards, Norm
P.S. I, too, dislike Photobucket. Photos of beautiful young women keep popping up, and I get distracted.
