Hello,
I'm new to these forums, but have been an on/off collector of guns for many years. My knowledge is limited to various Winchesters and Colts; Lugers are not my expertise. I posted this on another gun board a couple of years ago, but didn't quite get the information I was looking for. I am hoping someone here, who knows these things backwards and forwards, could tell me more about this specific Luger. So here is what I *think* I have: S/42 Luger (possibly refinished) Numbers matching, including magazine with code 154 proof. S/N: 3312 d Receiver date: 1940 (2) Code 655 WaffenAmpts and 1 other unknown marking/proof next to them. So I guess I'd like some clarification on this gun. The extent of my research shows that S/42 variations were only used until 1939, yet I have a 1940 receiver. Is my gun actually refinished? Certain parts look to have been the strawed finish, but other parts look to be more blue. I have read about the "red-ish" color found on some models, could my gun have this distinction, or would it just be lack of original finish/patina? What type of value would you place on this specific Luger? I acquired this gun in a trade and have a number in mind what the other gun was worth. Any input is appreciated, more pictures can also be taken, Thanks! |
