Question for forum members: I recently purchased from Legacy a
P.08 Mauser Banner Police E/L dated 1942 serial number 2430y. My question is this: The gun appears original and correct in all respects but has the following odd feature; the ejector is straw
finished but the remainder of the gun is correctly salt-blued as it
should be. Is this an occurrence that could have taken place during
assembly? As I believe that Police Lugers at Mauser were probably (or may have been) assembled as commercial Lugers,
that perhaps they used an ejector having a straw finish, either by
mistake or maybe due to a shortage of blue ejectors at a late date
for Mauser Luger production.
Any input from forum members will be greatly appreciated.
