Straw on a 1940?

Hi,

The last commercially sold batches (including those for Portugal) appear to come from a 'final' batch that was rejected by the HWa. Also note that Mauser still had a decent stock of luger parts during the rest of the war. So small contracts or individual purchases could have been fulfilled using 'leftovers' for quite some time.

There was enough left for the French to have some numbers assembled in the 1945-1946 period, after they gained control of the Oberndorf plant.

Basically, you can expect any weird combination of lugers during the 1942 - 1946 period, in a 'clear out sale' kinda fashion.
