1938 Mauser S/42 Luger P08

Looks like you won a great P08. IMHO I would take the risk and contact the vet to learn as much as possible about the history of the pistol. You said you bought it at an auction sale so I would think it's probable safe to assume it's not a stolen item.
I also have a 1938 P08 like yours without a matching mag. Could you let me know what the numbers are?

You are probably making the right decision based on your concerns. However, I didn't make myself clear when I asked about S/N's. What I'm interested in is the S/N's of the mags only. You mentioned they did not match the pistol so I don't think that would be a problem showing them as this is done from time to time on this forum and I for one am always looking for a match for my P08.
