After DWM ceased Luger production, Mauser took over manufacture of the P08 for the German military beginning in the mid-1930s. Mauser-made P08s are identified by the Mauser banner logo and production codes (S/42, byf, 42). These WWII-era Lugers represent the final chapter of P08 military production and are among the most commonly encountered matched WWII Lugers in the collector market today.
