S/42 1938

mattwong92 · 05-01-2013, 09:33 PM

So in short found an armslist ad for a s/42 Luger, he's offering 450 to me for a "speedy transaction"...
I've posted pictures
I'm just wondering is it worth it? And what is it? Is it commercial?
Thanks
-Matt

seems a little too good to be true. Have they asked for a western union payment ?

No, but their email is coming up as "zen wanderer".... the pictures he gave me seemed to be an all matching 1938 s/42 Luger with major pitting on the barrel, and patina/fleckering on the gun itself. Just a question were there any commercial lugers produced in that year? Because the frame seems to have a letter under the number like a commercial luger (just wondering i am most likely completely wrong)

A letter under the number is also correct for the military and the side proofs you show are also military. If you publish the seller's address you might have a forum member who lives nearby who can actually eyeball the pistol.
How about posting all the photos you describe?

Ask him what type of payment method you should use. If he mentions western union I would walk away.
