Description:

Standard configuration 1938 dated Mauser S/42 Luger, cal. 9mmP, SN: 8300i, original finish and all matching with matching magazine, a spare magazine, and a matching-dated holster. Chamber dated 1938 with the front toggle link marked “S/42”. Full serial number “8300i” marked on forward frame, with the numeration repeated on the left side of the barrel extension and under the barrel, last two digits marked on all of the usual small parts except the Mauser grips that are inspected but not numbered. Matching magazine with Eagle/63 acceptance and “+”. Spare magazine number “7915r” with Eagle/63 acceptance. Complete with black 1938 dated holster with Eagle/WaA159 acceptance. No takedown tool. The S/42 code was adopted by Germany in the mid-1930s to disguise Mauser’s role in military pistol production during the early rearmament period. Pistols of this type served as the standard German service sidearm during Germany’s invasion of Poland and well representative of Mauser’s high-quality manufacturing.
