Marc, So are you saying that the auction gun is perhaps an "unmarked" Eagle Police? And so the Police marked holster is correct with it? Or is that it is a true commercial Banner that someone requested numbered magazines and somehow got them with it? In the case it is a true commercial the Police holster was likely added later and is not really a matching part of the rig?
I too have a 42 Mauser Banner commercial, but mine is obviously truely "late war" with less workmanship and polish than the earlier Banners (mine is about like a BYF42 actually). Mine is straight commercial, matching, no military parts at all. But I believe it was made up late in the war with rejected military/police parts.
