Los Gatos · 09-23-2007, 09:58 AM

Hello everyone, I just bought my first luger, It's a 1937 S/42 luger. It was a bring back i was told. It has some strange markings of a bomb and L stamped 6 times throughout the pistol. and caliber marking on the barrel. i dont know anything about it and cant seem to find any info regarding these proofs. It's a very nice matching number luger other then the blood stained bluing. It is also not Nazi marked it has the old style german bird markings on the right side of the pistol. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i would like some history on it. Thanks everyone.
