Description:
THIRD REICH World War II German MAUSER “byf” Code “42” LUGER Pistol HOLSTER

9mm SEMI-AUTOMATIC with HOLSTER & TAKEDOWN TOOL

Here we present a C&R Mauser “byf” Code “42” Dated P.08 German Luger, made in Obendorf, Germany in 1942. Production of the P.08 during 1942 were approximately 136,000 examples. 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 WWI and WWII.

In the years between 1934 and early 1941, Mauser used a different designation code on their P.08 pistol (s/42). 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 “S” stands for “Simson” to throw off suspicion, and “/42” was the rest of the code for the Mauser factory. Dates were left off of the barrel until about 1936 when Germany’s arms production and military activities started to be brought into the light.

The overall condition is good. Refinished. The action is excellent. The bore is frosted with very worn rifling. Numbers are matching or renumbered to match with the exception of the sear, which is a few numbers off. Grips have been replaced and are in great shape. This P.08 features the WaffenAmt “Eagle/WaA135” proof on the frame along with “Eagle/Swastika” marked on the barrel. Also included is a leather holster and takedown tool.
