Cool acquisitions. Congrats.
But, I never saw an over polished, nickel plated Luger that didn't make me want to cry.

Yeah, I really wasn't planning on purchasing it when I dropped off the artillery to get restored ( I don't really mind restoring 'parts' guns and Lugerman does some exceptional work ). He had just finished up with it (probably picked it up cheap ) and brought it out to show me...and I fell in lust with it. He didn't it any way represent it as number a matching luger and I wouldn't have cared anyway. It does have a lot of '99s' all over the gun...but it has a 'S/42' stamped on the barrel length-wise in between the barrel matchmarks and the serial number...weird.
I realize the luger community at large frowns upon chrome plating lugers. It must've been a mess...anyway, it's found a good home. |

The S/42 barrel is a WW2 armorer's replacement barrel

Thanks for responding...considering what little info I possess about lugers, I don't recall ever seeing that s/42 stamp on anyone else's luger. I just assumed someone was trying to pull something in the past. Since the right side upper receiver has a crown over RC, is it safe to assume the barrel replacement was done at Erfurt Arsenal?
Just googled and found a post from phila dated Aug 6, 2023 #9 that he had seen 42, S/42 and E655? stamped barrels and believed they all came out of the Heer Depot... Had to look up 'Heer'...means army in english...guess I'll have to learn German, too...lol. |

Found another stamp on the barrel...left side at about 1:30- 2 o'clock...a stick eagle with two numbers I think...last number is a 3, the first number is heavily buffed out but appears to be either a 5 or a 6...
