Mauser 1939 Luger and Papers Review Request

Make sure that the number "42" or "43" is stamped inside the sideplate. The matching plate would have one of those numbers in there.

Looks like some pitting. What condition are gripstraps? Perhaps a $1400 gun plus holster. Tools were not aluminum and should be blued.

tannhauser88, just as a comparison, I purchased a 1939 Mauser in better condition, all matching except mag. There was no tool or papers, but the holster was in much better condition. I paid $1200 almost a year ago.

The more knowledgeable (than me) members that posted above opine that your subject luger is over priced. I agree. That Mauser is desirable (if the barrel bore is good) but over priced. You are getting wise and useful advice. Keep us posted regarding what happens.
