If I have this right, the serial number indicates a contract for Latvia, and the S/42 (instead of the Mauser Banner) on the toggle is one of 256 made with contract proofs and a military designation. It apparently is also one of 20 plus that are know to exist. Also, I checked the front sight and it does have the CcU proof mark (I think that's the right designation for large crown over small crown over U). In that I bought what I thought was a standard military P08 rig with 60% original finish that is all matching, can anyone give me a rough idea of what value to put on the rig? Also, can anyone offer an explanation how this pistol ended up in a 1941 dated holster with two black plastic fxo magazines?
Thanks for the help.
