IN 95% ORIGINAL UN-MESSED WITH CONDITION, WE HAVE A GERMAN ARMY ISSUE 1937 S/42 LUGER PISTOL WITH A NICE 1936 GENSHOW MADE HOLSTER AND CORRECTLY MARKED TOOL. THE PISTOL IS ALL MATCHING INCLUDING THE GRIPS, EXCEPT FOR THE UN-NUMBERED S/42 REPLACEMENT MAGAZINE AND THE BORE IS EXCELLENT AS WELL.
THE 1936 AND 1937 MANUFACTURED LUGER PISTOLS ARE CONSIDERED BY COLLECTORS TO BE THE MOST ATTRACTIVE OF THE NAZI ERA LUGERS. THIS IS THE EARLY HARD TO FIND VARIANT WITH THE STRAWED PARTS. ONLY ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE LUGERS PRODUCED IN 1937 WERE STRAWED AND RUST BLUED BEFORE THEY SWITCHED OVER TO THE HOT SALT BLUE FINISH. THESE WERE THE LAST OF THE REALLY PRETTY GUNS AND THEY ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS. NEXT TO BLACK WIDOWS WE GET THE MOST REQUESTS FOR THE EARLY STRAWED NAZI LUGERS.
