most reliable luger? what year?

Mauser stopped making Lugers in 1942 when the P-38 was adopted.

Well, no. Mauser stopped delivering lugers to the German army in 1942. They never stopped making them (well, until the French blew up the building in 1948).

Were those post-1942 Lugers dated on chamber? Production volume estimation? TIA
