Hi folks,

After leaving Britain and its crazy gun laws behind Iam at last in a position to own a functioning Luger,

I am looking at two right now which are about a 2 hour drive in opposite directions so Iam so far only looking at photos to decide if either of them is worth the drive to view.
The first one is claimed to be all matching numbered with original bluing in excellent order with origianal holster, its stamped 1942 on top apparently and I have asked for a picture of the top of the pistol to identify a makers mark, and will post this when I recieve it.
From the Eagle and L stamp, am I correct that this could have been issued to the postal service?

The second pistol is a matching numbered s/42 Mauser from 1938, again claimed as good origianal blueing. The seller is keen for me to come and see the gun but after nearly one week still has not sent me more detailed pictures of stamps.

Im not expecting any cast iron verdicts, just wondering what your more educated gut opinions are.

The second pistol is the last 3 photos,as I said I am waiting for more detailed images.
