Liquidation of my collection: Mauser Pistol P 08 (S/42) – Yr. 1937

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 experts and collectors as the absolute qualitative peak of P08 production before World War II. During this era, the firearms 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 firearm itself is matching numbers except for the magazine.It comes from a very well-maintained, inherited collection that 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 you can personally verify the condition of the firearm.The price is negotiable. However, I ask that you remain realistic.Since I am dissolving the entire collection, more interesting and high-quality firearms 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 firearms laws. Errors in the description excepted. The description was made to the best of my knowledge and belief. Errors, typos, and prior sale excepted.
