New S/42 in the family tonight

Hey Tom,

Jim has the new Luger, not me!

Here's a picture of the 1936 that I recently acquired. Consensus on the forum was that the overstamp took place at the factory at the time of manufacture.

This is another '41 S/42' listed on Gunbroker.

Auction # 201962304

Wonder if mine looked similar before the re-do.

Hi Jim, That Gunbroker item you posted is a very interesting gun. To call it mismatched is the under statement of the year! The frame is from a pre 1919 Erfurt, the toggle train from a 1939 or earlier Mauser, and the receiver from a 1941 Mauser. If that wasn't enough, the small parts all come from different guns. Regards, Norm

I thought I saw some of those East German Police proofs on the Gunbroker item; that little bird that looks like a chicken.
