David, let's be careful when you talk about halos on late Mausers. Do a search on "Halo" and find a post "help on byf 42", then look for a comment by RockinWR.

Hopefully, that will explain why your byf 42 doesn't have halos.

While I have seen many Lugers that are in the 98% and up category and I happily have quite a few, the condition of the later Lugers is usually better than the earlier pistols. That make sense, since they haven't been around as long and used as much.

Not having seen the pistol, it's hard to say for sure, but if the markings and corners are sharp, chances are good the Luger is legit!!
