I went and took another look. I does have a "42" laterally on the toggle with the last two digits of the s/n behind it running crosswise. On the right front of the "slide" from front to back is: An Eagle then an Eagle over 655 and again an Eagle over 655.
The barrel has the s/n with caliber marking (8.??) and has the witness mark.
Does the fact that there is no suffix indicate that it was in the first production run?

Am I correct that this Model is referred to as: "1939 Mauser 42 Code"?

Looking at it again with both eyes open this time I do see a freckle or two.
I am going to heed the sage advise on what my limit should be!
I have no idea why I want a Luger but this one appeals to me. I feel there is some history or story it wants to tell me!

Is there a place in this forum that briefly explains what this model is about? I know......read the book! Time will tell......

Thank You!

Regards, Jack
