Jan,

1937 S/42, sn 3513-ns, SE/63 SE/63, MTP

barr44 · 12-14-2007, 11:42 AM

This gun is not pristine but it is mechanically sound. It has a moderate amount of light pitting and a couple of rough spots caused by rust. The bluing is thinning and turning to a brown patina on the grip strap and parts of the lower frame. The bore of the gun is good, there is some pitting in the bore, but the lands and grooves are strong. The best I can tell the waffen marks are 83 and 63 on the receiver. The grips fit good and are in very good shape, but are darkened with age and oil. All parts seem to be properly numbered and waffen marks are correct. The magazine has the aluminum base with the correct serial number and is waffen marked 83.

to help provide data, you'd need to tell the order of the markings, its serial number, its date, etc... See examples above
