WW2 Mauser made Luger
Hi everybody.
I'm new to these parts and though I have quite a few deacts I recently got my first Luger - so I'm pretty far from being expert.
It's a Mauser made '42' and according to the cert was deactivated (UK) in 2013. I took it as part of a trade I had going with a dealer.
Couple of issues - one technical and one re. identification.
Tech - to dry fire it I have to push the trigger forward before or after cocking or it won't dry fire. Does so fine once I do that. Is this normal with a deact or is it a fault ?
Identification - The '42' appears twice on the pistol. Once on the breech which I think is the date of manufacture. The other is on part of the toggle assembly which I figure means it was a stock part already stamped that was being used up , as from what I read by 1942 the byf code was in use. I'm thinking this is unusual rather than rare. Does that sound right? The pistol is all matching numbers including on the same manufactured part of the toggle that the 42 appears on so I've no reason to think it's been put together from different pistols.
Comments welcome - as I say , I'm the beginner here.
