1940 P-08 - Inherited Luger from my father

Tinplatejeff · 01-31-2016, 08:54 PM

Somehow it's been two years since I first posted pictures of my 1940 Mauser. It's been living a quiet life in my gun safe. I recently contacted Jim Solomon about repairing the "million dollar chip" in the left grip. In doing so I removed the grips for the first time ever tonight! Jim thought the grips would not be serialized to the gun. However, it does indeed have the matching "15" on them. Is this usual then for a 1940 Mauser? Also, there are a couple of large "W" only found on the inside of the right grip. Grips have the matching WaA655 to the gun. I and Jim would like to hear thoughts on this, see pics. Left grip will be going to Jim for repair soon

Thanks.
