Description
3/31/23 – This 1940 dated Mauser Luger is all original and has the rare, reddish Krieghoff grips on it. The book on Mauser Lugers indicates that a very small set of 1940 lugers have these grips on them from the factory. It is assumed that they experimented with the HK grips as an option before they started making their own black plastic grips. Page 210 of the book indicates that these grips are found in the G to K blocks, so the “i” block is right in the middle of this group of 1940 Lugers. The gun has retained about 97% of its original high polish finish with very minor wear around the muzzle, on the side plate, and on the side rails. Very light scratchy wear on the front strap and a few tiny scratches on the left side of the frame. Comes with an original “black widow” magazine. Mint bore.
