all matching luger question

While your Luger is all matching, the finish would take it out of the collectable range, at least in my opinion. These Lugers, less than say 85 to 90 percent original finish, I would class as semi-shooters or perhaps semi-collectable.

If it is a very rare pistol, I might be a bit more forgiving.

Wouldn't a byf have to be 1941 or later?
Just curious.

Yes it would be, "byf" was only used on '41 & 42 dated Lugers.

Thanks Rylan,
I was just wondering how an all matching 40 byf could exist? Must be something wrong somewhere.

I believe "42" would be the Mauser code for a 1940 Luger. I agree with you, any "byf" toggle seen on a 1940 Luger would be incorrect.

Cheers,
