I noticed that the upper frame had a notch at the front.Well,looking at my artillery PO8 there is the same notch!
As far as the S/42,1942 it has walnut grips that are sharp,condition is 100%.
I bought it from a mechanic in 1972 that was in WW2 and found it at an arsenal that he had fought to take from a rear guard of German troops.
As a collector,I have also bought a browning WW2 hi power waffen proofed with capture papers and an MP40/BNZ41 taken off the wall of the Military muesem in Virginia (98%)and an STG44 late production 4/45.

My take on quality is the pre-1942 lugers,esp.1906-1938 are so much better made in fit and finish.Just my 2 cents
