AND I just found this
same gun sold at a Rock Island Auction in September of last year! Here's their description:
This is a scarce 1941 production Luger P.08 pistol that has the "42" code on the toggle for the Mauser factory with the "41" for year of manufacture stamped on the chamber. This was a relatively short production variation as both the year of manufacture and secret factory code both were eventually changed. This variation has been aptly termed by collectors as a "41/42" code Luger. Although the "n" suffix indicates that 150,000 of them were made, they are seldom seen. The right side of the barrel extension is marked with two "Eagle/655" proof marks followed by the Nazi firing proof. The firing proof is repeated on the right rear of the barrel and left side of the breechblock. The "Eagle/655" proof is also marked on the left rear of the barrel. The matching serial number is marked on the left side of the barrel extension, front of the frame and underside of the barrel with the bore diameter "8,82". The partial serial number "05" is marked on the small components. The left side of the frame is marked "P.08", the upper safety position is marked "GESICHERT" and the extractor is marked "GELADEN". Fixed sights, stock lug, all blue finish, blue matching magazine with pot metal base and fitted with checkered walnut grips. Comes with a black leather flap holster marked "cxb/41", "Eagle/WaA721" and "P.08" on the back.
Condition: Very fine as
professionally refinished with 98% blue finish remaining showing some mild muzzle and high edge wear. The grips are excellent with some minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically fine. The holster is very fine with some mild flex wear and tight stitching.
Looks like the buyers found out that it was refinished, kept the holster, and it's been making the rounds trying to find an inexperienced buyer.
