Bob Simpson answered my e-mail with the following information on my S/42 marked barrel. "Your Banner 5287x was originally made with the s/42 barrel marking and no serial number. It is estimated that 66 guns were made this way and only two have been noted. It is a rare variation. Please see attached copies of Hallock's Mauser book." The copies were somewhat cut off in transmission. They were page 299 and another page. Both pages had tables listing information. The text also refrenced Table 19.10, but was not included. These pages came from Chapter 19. Can anyone take a cell phone photo of these and any other pages that pertain to this gun and either text or email them to me? I can not lay my hands on a copy of the book.
