Hi Folks
I got an 1939, S/42 in best condition.
Complete with Holster and two matching magazines
Condition is extremly good, that I can’t belive that it’s really original.
On the other hand, many indices, at my opinion, will show no presence of rework.
What makes me doubtful:
Look at the serials at the frame, receiver and barrel. They are matching indeed, but looking at the “4” - fast you can see the difference in the stamps.
Has anyone an idea about the production process, does anyone have a “stempelvorschrift” ready to hand. When doing the serialstamping, was this a workplace for more then one person per gun. Or was every gun serialed by one worker only, then it will be probably an rework.
On the other hand, you will find no ghost lines from an potential removal of old numbers. Look at the barrel, the proofing looks perfect ……
Another point that makes me nervous, I found an “WR” stamping on some parts. Has anyone seen this before, will this be the sign of the gunshop, which reworked the gun ??
Any ideas, comments, help, information ???
