So today my package same, the FedEx guy got my signature and I got my Luger! My first.

Here are the details:

Purchased from Simpsons.
S/42 Marked 1938 on the slide.
Serial # is 1745 and on the front of the frame it's marked
1745
h (in script)

All parts match (I've had it apart)
Bore is good.
Mag is not original (need another mag)
Bluing is about 80%
A bit of light marking/pitting on the left side of the sight "band"
A loose safety....it's a bit too easy to manipulate

And I cannot find an import mark....so should I assume it came into the country before 1968?

Haven't had it to the range yet but hope to get there Sunday.

Here's some pictures.

All comments, information, whatever would be greatly appreciated. I paid around $1200 for it...was that a fair price?
