Very Rare Portuguese-Contract 1942 Mauser Luger #shorts #ww2
This video showcases a rare Portuguese-contract 1942 Mauser Luger, distinguished by its phosphate finish. The presenter notes that approximately 6,000 of these pistols were sent to Portugal, with about half featuring a phosphate finish and the other half a blued finish. A theory suggests the phosphated versions were intended for use in tropical climates, such as Portuguese colonies in Africa, due to the finish's perceived durability in humid conditions.
