Need help with two guns
Ok I have found for sale two guns one is a
1939 S/42 all match but mag other is a 1939/42 all match and mag Both are for sale for $1195 Is the S/42 for 1939 a rare variation. The only thing I can find that might make it rare is according to The Gun Blue Book they stopped making them in april of 1939. Any help here guys Thanks, Doug |

They made 38,500 of the 1939 S/42
They made 85,500 of the 1939 42 I would say neither is rare, less of them, so harder to get a S/42 over a 42... Rarer would be the police variation of the S/42, only 600 were made... Ed

Doug, the S/42 is more desirable. If they are in equal conition go for the S/42!! The matching magazine is nice, but...

So what do you guys think about the prices. They seem VERY reasonable to me. I would think these would normally be going for $200-$300 more.
