1939 Mauser Banner E/F

thank you, I thought it was either eagle 6 and a number or erfurt and a number
this is a new variation and before you think we are rank amateurs, I co-wrote the book Simson Lugers and co-wrote Police Lugers- I have held scores of each in my hands, and have hundreds of pictures. BUT, I am still learning from others, to not learn from others would be stupid

I would not say this is a common variation. I have a police Mauser, 1939, S/42 (maybe 600 police) and there is actually very little information on Banner Commercials

its not what I collect, but I think I am a fairly rounded collector. I was completely correct in suggesting it as a mismatch value, but having it pointed out to me that the sideplate is correct, obviously this is a rarer variation and as all rarer variation goes, they have their own value.
A Banner Mauser - army (nice condition) goes from one collector to another for about $2500-$3000 - a Police, I would add another $1000, probably another $500 for a matching magazine - police matching mags are much more common than army IMHO. I would add another $1000 for such high condition, which, since you know Lugers so well, must be accurate.
I would think $4200-$5000 - but Mauser Banners are harder to sell, Mauser Banner Police even more so, you should gather up documentation such as this thread and keep it.
