Banner Mauser Rebarrel

Technically the S/42 marked barrel is a war time replacement, as most Armorer replacement barrels of this period were were marked either S/42, or just 42. To many this would detract in value and some might go to the extreme of qualifying it as a "shooter". Personally, because it is a war time replacement, it adds to the authenticity and the fact that the pistol didn't sit in a drawer during the entire conflict. In my humble opinion, Simpson should have noted the barrel change in their description. Still, it sounds like a nice pistol and you should provide the membership with some photos.
