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.

All right.

That's enough.

Now my Gunnery Sergeant is kicking in. Ignorance can be cured, but "stoopid" is forever.

You're bad mouthin' the most knowledgeable people on the friggin planet when it comes to the Luger. And all this when you insult our intelligence by hawking a fairy tale about a Polish Cavalryman named (wait for it...) Brown with some BS about somebody shooting somebody and krauts being trained to shoot the P08 at (Jeezus wept!) 500 yds!

I'm too damned old and tired to put up with people peeing down my leg and telling me it's rain.

You have NO credence with me and, to keep the "Gunny" in check and my blood pressure down I will henceforth ignore any thread or post you may place here.

I bid you good day; and don't forget to take your meds.

Steve, I think he may have been referring to the pic of the Banner Mauser in the latest set posted. The very front of the sight block appears to have a very faintly stamped eagle on it. Or am I having an attack of pareidolia?

No, your teeth are OK...It's an upside-down straight-armed eagle...One of the more cartoonish ones...Funny place for it...I'd say red flag time!

No red flags for the eagle, perfctly normal.

I'm not convinced...This has been brought up before, but I don't recall the consensus of opinion on it...

Your ok, it is an E/N on the front of the sight block. You find 'em on Banner Commercial and Police models.
