In the S/42's, 1937 was the transition year for the strawed parts. 1st variation = strawed. 2nd variation = blued.

Policeluger I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for "YA" these sure do not turn up anymore to often. Just got a ac 43 P-38 rig in 95% condtion from a vet who got it at the battle of the bulge. White stiched hard shell holster with the spare magazine. Said he also had a luger but has not seen it in 40 years. don't remember what happen to it.

Hi Howard, please check that serial number!! The H-Block is NOT a 1937!! If it's a late(r), all blue 1937, the serial number is probably higher than 9800s and lower than 400b.

Frank, going to WOL this morning, it could be "z"?? I am not sure now, it is all blue, sn is 3777 .....looking at WOL for about the 10th time, it looks like the right hand side sample of the two given, if this is of enough interest to you I could ask my wife to photo it and send it to you, for the life of me I can't post a picture here on LF...it is again a 1937
