Sandro, you are making a very wise decision to obtain the books and study them.

Going to "Luger University" starts with this decision. The more you study and understand the better your acquisitions will be over time. You're also getting some level of protection from being defrauded.

The most comprehensive book I own is the Sturgess book (Red edition) followed by Don Hallock and Joop van de Kant's "The Mauser Parabellum".

Don and Joop's book has a deep level of detail about each of the Mauser variations. This book is out of print now, and getting more expensive on the used market.

Coupled with studying Lugers, you need to get as many of them as possible in hand to study in person. Observing things like finish and fit will help you understand things that you simply cannot get from the photographs and descriptions in the books.

What details are you looking for concerning your Mauser made 1940 42 code Luger?
