1937 S/42 Military Issue Mauser Firing Pin

tke466 · 11-11-2013, 08:48 PM

I'm new to collecting Lugers and it is a bit overwhelming. But I like a challenge and and enjoy the chase to the bottom of the rabbit hole!

I just purchased my first and it is a numbers matching piece except the firing pin and of course the mag. What is the story behind the unmarked firing pin and how much does this effect the value? Is there any chance at locating the correct pin marked #23? The blueing is great on the piece so hopefully I did well at $1600?

I'm a sponge and ready to soak up any knowledge offered up.

Great forum, btw....
