Help Identifying Mauser P08

DavidJayUden · 11-02-2013, 11:47 PM

Looks to me like a Mauser "Banner" Luger designated for police use. From what I see it appears original. The finish is a bit glossy but I believe that to be correct and original.
We'd need to see more photos of the markings on the mag. to be certain that it was an original issue item vs. a police re-issue item.
These are not really my area, as the Mauser guns are not all that common, but I'll take a WAG at around $2k or a bit more, assuming all matching and one matching mag.
It is a very nice gun and if you shoot it and break a numbered part it will be worth about 1/2 or 2/3 as much. It would be a fine shooter, just financially risky. Now the choice is yours.
