Mauser Banner '42........??

Steve,
You probably couldn't find one in Jan's books, because a 42 dated military Banner with E135 proofs didn't likely exist. There were military Banners in the 177Xx serial number range like this pistol, but they were proofed E655 and were not dated later than 41 to the best of my knowledge. I use Costanzo as a reference concerning Banner production and he indicates that there were not any Banners produced for the military in 1942. There are some for real Banner experts on this Forum and hopefully they will add to this post.
