Welcome to the Forum Stan.
If the finish is all original on your Luger you have found a beauty!

Stan, welcome to the forum. Your Mauser looks very nice. Congrats. Do you know if the grips are matching/original? Are you planning to shoot it?

I am a relative new owner of a 1939 and a 1942 Mauser. I still have a smile on my face since I got them last spring.

Hi Stan, and welcome to the forum.

You've got what appears to be a very nice Mauser Luger in original finish.

The inside of the grips are probably numbered. Inside the trigger side plate, you should find the number 40 stamped.

Congratulations!

Thanks for the comments. It's a beauty. I do plan on shooting it.
