Strange mark found on s/42

arabitogu · 06-29-2008, 07:36 AM

Hi all,

examining my s/42 luger i found the following mark on the right side of the breechblock that looks unusual for me.

Any suggestion or idea?

Thanks and ciao

Alberto

Hi Alberto,

Perhaps a marking left after rechambering to 9x21mm?

Alberto, That's a new one to me. Quite often unnumbered Imperial armour's spares will have a "crown/a letter" Imperial inspector's marking in that location. TH

According to Costanza, it a Mauser factory repair proof ? Bill

Hi all,

sorry for my late replay but i was travelling in the past days.

Thanks for all of your answer.

So the mark likely is a mauser repair mark??

Thanks again and ciao

Alberto
