Payment Types Accepted: Credit Card, Certified Check, Money Order Description: World War II THIRD REICH German MAUSER “42” Code “1940” Dated LUGER PISTOL ICONIC World War II German Semi-Automatic Sidearm Here we present a C&R Mauser “42” Code “1940” Dated German P.08 Luger, made in 1940 in Obendorf, Germany. Based on Hugo Borchardt’s novel design of a semi-automatic pistol, the “Luger” pistol was designed by Georg Luger, the man tasked with taking an awkward, cumbersome and expensive pistol and making it into one of the world’s most iconic firearms of all time. The Model P.08 was adopted by Germany and was used through both World War I and World War II. In the years between 1934 and early 1941, Mauser used a different designation code on their P.08 pistol. Interestingly, since the terms of the Treaty of Versailles only allowed the German Simson & Company to produce any of the few small arms granted Germany after World War I, arms production was done secretly at Mauser, among others. The slide is marked “42”, which was the code for the Mauser factory. Dates were left off of the frame until about 1936 when Germany’s arms production and military activities started to be brought into the light. Waffenamt codes were the inspection marks used on military equipment by the German Third Reich. The overall condition is good. Refinished. The action is excellent. The bore is dim with worn rifling. The grips are solid replacements. The numbers match throughout except for the number on the front of the frame, of which only one digit remains visible. Own the original!
