P08 S/42 7.65 Help

Maurin, the top half of your pistol is from a 1937 Mauser military Luger. The 7.65 barrel is a replacement; the 1937 top should have a 9mm numbered barrel. The barrel has what appears to be a Swiss cross. The bottom half of your pistol has the non military grip safety and is either 1920's Swiss or early commericial manufacture. It is what is called a parts Luger. In any case its an attractive pistol and should be a great shooter. Parts Lugers are not uncommon and nothing to be ashamed of; I have two and greatly enjoy shooting them.

Maybe our experts can offer more information.

Best
