Some nice pistols. I, alas, only have one Luger left. At one time had 17 but traded and sold for other interesting firearms, I had 3 P38, but only 1 now. The P38 is what my father carried.

Here's the P38 and couple of my favorite. As to my previous post, I should have wrote My father carried a P38. The way I wrote it and after reading it, it may have sounded like I said I had the P38 he carried. Sorry if anyone besides myself may have read it that way.

Nice pieces! My Uncle Frank let me hang onto his Luger for a while many many years ago. He captured it from a German soldier either during or just after the Bulge. I left it in care of my Dad when I moved out here to California. My brother ended up with it after both Dad and Frank passed away. I last saw it 20 years ago on a trip home. I'll need to dig up the photos it took and post them here. It was a beautiful gun. Lightly used but not abused. My buddy and I took it out once. He brought an Ayatolla Khomeini poster (See, I told you it was many years ago!). I got him right between the eyes on my first shot.

 

It came with a holster, extra mag and takedown tool. Was there anything else issued with them?

I also had a captured Luger with holster, extra mag, and take down tool, along with the confiscation papers. Bought all this for 60.00 in 1970 from a fellow worker who captured these along with Luftwaffe buckle and belt and insignias he took from a Luftwaffe soldier. Alas, years later I sold these along with my other Lugers to start a M1 carbine collection which now number 40 along with a reproduction paratrooper stock used in Band of Brothers HBO film. Now I wish I had the Lugers rather then the carbines. Too late now. LOL

HELLO;  HERE WE HAVE  A  1939  42   MAUSER LUGER. THE CHANGE FROM s42  TO  42  HAPPENED IN THE SPRING OF  1939. AROUND THIS TIME ALSO,  BLACK PLASTIC GRIPS  COULD BE ISSUED AS REPLACEMENTS IF WOOD GRIPS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.  APX.  85500  42 CODED LUGER'S WERE PRODUCED OF WHICH  SOME WENT TO THE LUFTWAFFE AND NAVY. THE   OFF   COLOR IN THE RECEIVER  ASSEMBLY IS DUE TO HEAT AND CHEMICAL VARIANCES DURING THE BLUEING PROCESS. THE  42  ON THE MAGAZINE BOTTOM IS A MAUSER REPLACEMENT CODE.IMG_1853(1).JPG.2f3122bf9bac04652e71b817e18cd487.JPGIMG_1855(1).JPG.1385fd2968a7f0602c09b28fa7940fcf.JPGIMG_1849(1).JPG.456bd067b37b494c979bcda64955608a.JPGIMG_1846(1).JPG.0868f8da13dc7cbea8f563bdd72aa52b.JPG

Two very nice P.08 pistols.

 

Great information on the first Naval issue pistol markings.  Is the magazine on your second (Mauser) pistol a secondary replacement magazine like an unmarked one made for an armorer or did it come from the factory for the pistol without inspection or first/second/third magazine markings?

GOOD DAY ALL;  THE LAST OF THE T. R. LUGER'S.   THIS ONE IS THE LAST YEAR OF PRODUCTION AS PRODUCTION ENDED IN NOVEMBER 1942 IN FAVOR OF THE P.38, THOUGH THERE WAS SOME PARTS ASSEMBLY UNTIL POSSIBLY 1944.  THE LAST APX. 10,000  PRODUCTION byf42  LUGER PISTOL'S  WENT TO BULGARIA AND PORTUGAL. AT THE START OF 1941  THE YEAR STAMP ON THE CHAMBER WENT FROM FOUR DIGITS TO TWO, AND THE P.08 WAS ADDED TO THE LEFT FRAME.  THE  E/655 INSPECTOR STAMP CHANGED TO  E/135 THEN ALSO.  THE MAUSER CODE OF 42  CHANGED TO byf  AT APX. THE SAME TIME. 1942 ALSO SAW THE OMITTING OF THE BARREL GAUGE STAMP.  ISSUANCE OF BLACK PLASTIC MAGAZINE BOTTOMS   HAPPENED IN 1941, BY 1942 IT IS RARE TO FIND A NUMBERS MATCHING ALUMINUM BOTTOM MAGAZINE AS MOST WERE SUPPLIED WITH BLACK PLASTIC BOTTOMS.

IMPERIAL/WEIMAR LUGER PISTOLS WILL BE ON THE IMPERIAL PAGES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR  INTEREST. INQUIRIES ARE WELCOME.

Nice late P.08 pistol.  I see you have the correct fxo magazine for it.  These plastic bottom magazines are often chipped or broken since it was not the best idea to produce a magazine you are going to drop on the ground. 

 

Thanks for showing.
