Very nice!
I love that Mauser finish, and what a beautiful rig you have.
Even the spare mag marked S/42!
Just wonderful, thanks for sharing the pics.

These armorer replacement mags can come in handy.

Beautiful rig

What would one expect to pay for a similar 1936 S/42 ?

Thanks

very, very nice. Thanks!

I have no idea of the current price of a 1936 Luger in this condition. I bought this pistol in 1994 and prices have gone up considerably since then.

The take down, trigger, and mag release are blued? Is the gun all matching? Small parts should be straw. John

GerColctor · 01-31-2008, 07:46 PM

John

I omitted mentioning in the beginning the serial number, 5997o. Those parts should be blue. Change over from straw to blue occured during production of the n suffix. All of these parts are matching.

Hi Joe, the 1936 Lugers should contain straw colored small parts! The change to all blue parts didn't occur until 1937 in the T-Block!

GerColctor · 02-02-2008, 03:53 PM

Frank

Your correct about the change from straw to blue occuring in 1937. I must have miss read Still's comments on page 39 in Third Reich Lugers, under Characteristics for the 1936.

The small parts of this Luger must have been reblued sometime during their life, as they are all numbered to this gun. The frame, barrel and slide have not been reblued.

I can't come up with a logical reason for rebluing just the small parts. Better check the entire finish very carefully, and get a second hands-on opinion by an expert.

I just ordered a copy of Jan's "Imperial Luger".... haven't received it yet. Was this book first published in 1980-1990? Before it's published, I guess there were many unclarified details.... say, one guy in the ownership chain of this gun might believe the small parts should be in certain finish but they were not. So, he might "fix" the problem.

I tested the finish on the frame, barrel, toggle and the slide, never reblued.
