I've been doing some research on a Luger than I came in possession of, and you all seemed quite knowledgeable; which leads to my inaugural post
I was wondering if someone would help me date and place this gun? Or, if you all could point me to the right place to find this.
I have deduced that it was manufactured my Mauser...and that's about it.
In a previous post, Mr. Keener suggested that the full model number should be posted. (http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=222346) My gun is as follows.
P.08, S/42, 1938, xx47d
Some unique markings that I have found are as follows.
There is some sort of Waffenamt stamp. I have two stamps, both have the eagle and either some numbers (63 or 68?) or the letters "SS" stamped underneath. It is really difficult to see. There is also a stamp right next to the last Waffenamt stamp, that I can't decipher. It looks like an eagle of some sort (pic attached, best I could do...)

So guys (and gals), any help would be more than appreciated.
Thank you!
