It looks like it was never fired before I shot it too. So, I would imagine that I bought someone's safe queen, or perhaps the owner died?
As for the S/42, I was told that it was a G.I. bringback. It is too bad that I don't have anything that can substantiate that... There are 3 names inside of the holster flap that can just be made out. 2 of the top names have a line through them with the bottom name unobstructed. I can only assume that the bottom name probably belongs to the German soldier that it was taken from. It would be interesting if I could eventually do some research into those names and perhaps find out something about the soldiers that carried the weapon.

Good to hear the SS one shoots well, they are a lot of fun to shoot and if it's reliable you will certainly get your $$ worth. The S/42 is a beauty in my book, seems like a Luger with a story to tell.
