What's Included
- Mauser Pistole 08 (S/42, G-date) pistol in 9mm Luger
- One 8-round P.08 single-stack magazine with aluminum base; body stamped "122" with Waffenamt acceptance (supplier code)
The S/42 toggle code and "G" chamber date mark this pistol as 1935 Mauser Army production. German military acceptance eagles are present on the right side of the receiver, and the chamber face shows the "G" date code. The safety legend "GESICHERT" is visible in the correct location.
It follows the standard P.08 configuration with a 4" barrel, short-recoil, toggle-locked action, and single-action trigger. The sights are the correct fixed iron type: a pinned front blade paired with the fixed V-notch integral to the rear toggle. A stock lug is present on the backstrap.
The finish reflects the period: hot salt blued major components with strawed small controls. The pistol is built on a carbon steel frame and receiver with checkered walnut grips. Assembly numbers appear on small parts consistent with Mauser practice for this era.
The included P.08 magazine is an aluminum-base example supplied by Haenel, identified by the "122" body stamp with Waffenamt acceptance. It is numbered. Mag S/N does not match. Capacity is 8+1.
