Opinions on my Deactivated 1936 Luger

Martin,

Your Mauser P08 does have the 3 WaA applied military acceptance markings on the left side.

So it started life as a Military contract P08 and went through the DDR / GDR rework program after 1945.

The magazine is a typical East-German example.

A small caveat for Dutch collectors of deactivated guns:
If the magazine can be removed from a deactivated gun, the magazine itself is illegally owned when one has no gun or ammo permit.

Only when the magazine is welded fixed to the gun, it's ok.
