IN 98%+ ORIGINAL MINT STUNNING CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY RARE AND EXTREMELY DESIRABLE 41-42 CODE GERMAN ARMY P.08 LUGER PISTOL. THIS IS STILL WITH BOTH FACTORY MATCHING NUMBERED MAGAZINES AND IS FULLY RIGGED OUT WITH A MINT NEW RARE MAKER bcb41 (OTTO GRAF, LEIPZIG) BLACK HARDSHELL HOLSTER. THIS VARIATION IS QUITE RARE, THERE WERE ONLY 7000 41-42 CODED LUGERS EVER MADE AND FEW HAVE SURVIVED. THIS PISTOL WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED BEFORE FEBRUARY 1941, AS AFTER THAT DATE THE CODE FOR MAUSER LUGER PRODUCTION WAS CHANGED TO byf. THE VAST MAJORITY OF 1941 LUGER PRODUCTION IS byf CODED. THIS PISTOL IS TOTALLY MATCHING AND THE BORE IS EXCELLENT AS WELL. 41-42 CODED LUGERS ARE THE RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER OF THE NAZI ERA MAUSER MADE MILITARY LUGERS AND GETTING ONE IN THIS EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL CONDITION STILL INTACT IS A HUGE FIND.
This pistol just came out of the woodwork from an old collection that we recently acquired in the isolated Upper Peninsula of Michigan and was picked up directly from the vet.
