German Mauser P.08 Luger Semi-Automatic Pistol with Holster and Magazines - A German P.08 Luger semi-automatic service pistol manufactured by Mauser. The firearm features a blued steel finish with black checkered synthetic grips. Several identifying marks are visible on the metal components: the chamber is stamped with the two-digit year '41' (photo 19); the toggle is marked with the lowercase script code 'byf' (photo 19), which was the wartime manufacturer code for the Mauser factory; and the left side of the frame is stamped 'P.08' (photo 10). The safety lever area is stamped with the German word 'GESICHERT' (photo 10). The pistol displays a serial number of '524' followed by a lowercase letter 'y' on the left side of the receiver (photo 11). The last two digits of the serial number, '24', are stamped on various smaller components including the side plate (photo 11), the trigger (photo 11), the toggle link (photo 19), and the extractor (photo 19). The right side of the receiver bears three stamped inspection marks consisting of a stylized eagle over the number '655' and a final eagle proof mark (photo 20). The lot includes two steel magazines with aluminum base plugs. Accompanying the pistol is a brown leather flap holster featuring two belt loops on the reverse (photo 22). A handwritten inventory tag attached to the trigger guard reads 'LUGER (German 1941) P.08 Mauser 9mm sn: 24 / 524 / 655'. The holster measures approximately 10 inches in total length.
