Pete -

I guess these ink marked Mauser grips are not that uncommon. And the one in the photograph you have provided appears to have been numbered with the same type of felt tipped marker that my own pair have been marked with. The concensus is that this was not done by the Germans because this type of marker was not in use then. So I can not help wondering when these ink marks were created, and perhaps by whom. It is tempting to say that they are not original to the gun; however, other collectors have told me they are original to their guns too.

Alf -

I was not aware that most of these 41-42 Lugers are thought to have gone to the Eastern Front as a result of Operation Barbarossa. The operational orders for Barbarossa were generated in January of 1941 which is also the same time that the 41-42 Lugers were being made. So is there reliable documentation for this diversion to the Eastern Front, or is this just educated speculation?
