I posed a reasonable question here with my 1936 and aside from saying it's reblued with a poor holster I have yet to receive a response to the mark ahead to the serial number:



I think I've depleted all information from this forum. No one here can answer concerning a simple P-08 MAUSER S/42 from 1936.

I think this forum is full of a lot of people who really know nothing.

They all like Luger P-08s but they don't have the answers.

Lordy, you are very impatient. You post three times; 2:27, 2:29, and at 2:31 and now you saying no one on this board knows anything about lugers. Take a chill pill and come back when you can post some civilized and readable questions. Maybe buy a few books from the authors that frequent this board.

As to the E/N on the front sight that is a commercial proof mark that is found on Mauser Banners.

As to the mark on your 1936 it looks like an X but can't tell for sure from the pic. If it is an X, it is a Russian capture and went through an arsenal re-work postwar.
