1940 42 Luger (And its big brother)

Thanks guys!

I am working on locating a 1940 holster for it and then I think I am going to move on to belt and buckle. Then a helmet!

This is going to get expensive!

Was Oberndorf producing anything besides these two firearms at the time?

My luger is a B block gun (2767 B) any idea on the month this was produced? I would like to try and figure out the month my K98 was produced as well.

You DEFINITELY need to look for an MP40 now. Very few weapons crews were armed with K98 and P08 (e.g. mortar and MG units), MP40/P08 was more common combo. Although P38was officially adopted by Wehrmacht at that time, many mid level officers were armed with MP40/P08 combo.

Once you get the MP40, you need to look at MG42,......where does it stop!? We're all sick.

Congrats on the beautifull/historical weapons.
