SOLD - 1942 Army Mauser Luger Rig

Description

8/15/24 - This is an Army Mauser Luger rig from 1942 with holster, tool and spare magazine. Sometimes referred to as a "brown recluse" by collectors due to the black widow style magazines but wood grips. The pistol is all matching and original with maybe 75-80% blue remaining. High point wear throughout, and noticeable browning to the sideplate. Excellent bore. The grips are interesting as they are Erfurt proofed and matching to each other, but then each also had the '51' for this pistol added. Could have been done by an arsenal but can't say for sure. Both magazines are original Black Widow style examples but the base on the spare is a repro replacement. Original tool with E/63 proof. The rig is completed by a 1939 dated holster that has some unknown proof marks, perhaps a unit marking. It's got some minor cracking and obvious signs of age but no major defects. Robert Saltsman collection.
