Hi Don,
I've had a look at the 1939 code 42. Nothing too interesting to report I'm afraid - the markings on the right are SE-655, SE-655 and the Heer test proof. This clearly isn't a transition model but I suppose that it may help to define the boundaries of the transition.
Regarding the sear safety on the Banner Police, I'm still a bit of a novice so I can't be certain that one wasn't removed. That area didn't look modified to me but if you can tell me what to look for I'll check it out.
Thanks for the offer of the grips but I have an unnumbered set already on a mismatched Luger that I got in the same lot as these 3. (It's actually quite a curious one - all the numbers appear to match but the frame and it's associated small parts, grips etc. are Mauser and everything else is Simson.) I might sell the BW grips - any idea of what they might go for?
Best regards,
John
