Hello and questions, questions, questions

Not sure if I asked this or not. I am under the impresion that the best of the Lugers (as far as function and durability) are those made just prior to and at the beginning of WWII. Would that be Mauser "42 marked Lugers only?

Mauser marked S/42; 42 and BYF from 1937 to 1942 any of them would be a good choice.

And I didn't see your post that said pretty much the same thing I did.
