1938 S/42

Gentlemen,

This has been a good Luger weekend; after getting the byf 42 on Friday, I bought a mongrel 1938 S/42 today. All matching apart from the breech block, magazine, firing pin and barrel. The barrel is 3.9" and was installed for a competition. The blueing is almost too good to be true so I guess it has been very nicely refinished. (Edit: "Gesichert" is not in white lettering - should it be?) Should I try to get a correct barrel or just keep it as a shooter? I have a pretty good hunch about the marking on the firing pin, but I would like to hear your opinion as well.

Regards,

Balder
