OK, Now the plot thickens. The body of this Luger and all parts in match I think with no question. The barrel we know does not. My question now is according to "Blue Book of Gun Values" The earliest that any S/42 code made was 1934. Did they take WWI Luger's and under commercial contracts turn them into S/42's ?
Anyway, I took the Luger today (that I now call my "long Tom Luger" ) to the range. It shoots like a dream !! I've shot many handguns in my day, but this was a real treat. 20 yards for the first 10 rounds and 8 inside the 8" target circle. A very,very nice shooter.
