Description:
1936 Dated World War II NAZI German Mauser s/42 Code Luger P.08 Pistol
With 1935 C. Heinichen of Dresden Holster!
Here we present a German s/42 Mauser P08 Luger, made in 1936. 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 P08 was adopted by Germany and was used through both WWI and WWII.
This piece is dated “1936” on the barrel and has the Mauser company’s coded designation of “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.
This example includes a 1935 dated and WaffenAmted holster that remains in fine shape. The maker was C. Heinichen of Dresden. We found a holster from this maker, with these markings and date of 1935 that sold by itself for $1600. It is hard to find such early dated and marked holsters, but here it is!
The overall condition is fine. The action is robust. The bore is bright with great rifling. All numbers match. The magazine is unnumbered. The grips are firm and the checkering remains sharp. Three German eagle proofs are stamped into the right side of the frame. Here is a chance to own a piece of WWII history!
