40 - 41 Mauser banner markings

[drbuster]

Dear nahpatronen, your conclsion above seems correct to me. Some Mauser banners were sent to the military from the factory, some for police duty and, to the best of my knowledge, fewest to the comercial market. After all, it was war time! Jan Still's Third Reich Lugers begins the section on banner lugers on page 136. Very informative reading!
