Liquidation of my collection: Mauser P08 (S/42) – year 1937 - matching numbers

For sale is an absolute classic of German military technology: an original Pistole 08 from the Mauser factories in Oberndorf am Neckar. This specimen bears the manufacturer code “S/42” on the knee joint and the coveted production year 1937 on the case ring.The year 1937 is considered by connoisseurs and collectors as the absolute qualitative peak of P08 production before World War II. In this era, the weapons were still fitted by hand with an extremely high level of effort and received the deep, high-gloss bluing of the pre-war period, before production was switched to rough, matte surfaces later in the war.The weapon itself is matching numbers except for the magazineIt comes from a very well-maintained inheritance collection, which I am gradually dissolving after careful consideration. It is not easy to part with these pieces, but they should go into the hands of people who appreciate their quality and history.The pistol can of course be viewed and inspected on site by appointment. I place great value on transparency so that you can personally verify the condition of the weapon.The price is negotiable. However, I ask you to remain realistic.Since I am dissolving the entire collection, more interesting and high-quality weapons will be offered in the coming weeks. So it’s worth taking a look at my other listings.I look forward to your inquiry and am happy to answer any questions.Note: The sale is exclusively to persons with a valid acquisition permit and in compliance with all applicable weapons law regulations. Errors in the description excepted.
