Hi All,

I am new to Lugers. This is what I brought home from the Lakeland,Fl gun show today.

42 marked#8140
1939 date.
All matches except the grips(one has a number,the other just has a "1" and "0" arranged at crazy angles.
Bore is very nice,sharp and clear.
Barrel is marked "CAI MIA FL" on bottom
Overall finish is a deep blackish blue. Not as pimped out as some of the other imports I saw at the show.
Mag is marked PO8 FXO and(eagle 37?)
I was 550.00 out the door. I figured it would be pretty hard to get badly burned at that price (on a mostly matching gun with a good bore,even if a likely re-finished import).
Does anyone have any info about this batch of import pistols? There were two at the table,the other was a "42" also dated 1940. I took the one with the better bore.

Thanks for any help,

Denny R
