“1940” Date World War II German Mauser “42” Code 9mm LUGER PISTOL WWII
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 late 1940. 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. 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.
This one has an asterisk on the right side of the barrel and Eagle “655” proofs. The grips are the Russian variety with vertical serrations.
The overall condition is very good. Refinished blue at some point after the war. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grips are in nice shape and solid (not numbered). Numbers match throughout. Though the magazine is of original WW2 production the number has been removed from its base.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 4 inches in length.
Caliber: 9x19mm Luger (Parabellum)
