I'll check, but I'm sure for the serial number with small S letter, and byf 42...
S is after k or L, so why did you say "too early"? It seems to be of the last lugers manufactured by Mauser.

2762i no bore gauge

Richard, thanks a bunch for the date!!

Theirry, the 42 byf production began in the B-Block and ended in the N-Block. Most of the M & N - Blocks were contract pistols to either Portugal or Bulgaria!! So a "s" is either too early or too late!! I said too early because it couldn't be too late, since none were made after the "n"!!

OK - here is mine.... (WOW - I can't believe it has taken my EIGHT months to post this!!! :eek: )

SN: 3063 f suffix
No bore guage
E135 proofed

"since none were made after the "n"": Are U sure?

I'm sure that gun is original...
I'll picture it in details to show you the letter, perhaps I'm wrong.

John D, I can't believe it took you 8 months either. Of course, you haven't been very busy :D Thanks for the info!!

Hey Frank..!!

Actually - I *forgot* I owned a 42 BYF RIG until I got many of mine out of the safe for Ed to look at..??!! I also found my 41 BYF RIG..??!! Hmmm....

I'm not senile - just getting old.. :)

Anyway - hopes the data helps!!!

Best to you Frank!!
