Help with magazine markings (new to the form)
 

I am trying to determine the character on a luger/magazine.
The character doesn’t match any of the reference material, I have my opinion of what letter it is. I was hoping to get some feedback from some more experienced collectors, all help is welcome.

That is an X IMO marksluger

It's a "r" from 1941.

I agree it's an "r" over a spare mag "+" sign. TH

I agree, an r, it is stamped off a bit, like slightly sideways

Here's an "r" suffix '41 BYF for comparison. Matching mag. http://forum.lugerforum.com/attachme...1&d=1641182647 http://forum.lugerforum.com/attachme...1&d=1641182647

Thanks to everyone for your input I though it was a “r”.
Here are some pictures of my byf 41

It's a beautiful Luger.
The matching magazines are really special.

I think it has been nicely refinished, because it has no signs of wear.
Your toggle where "byf" is stamped looks very scraped up and doesn't have beveled edges.
And, I agree that the suffix letter is an "X".

I have a 42 byf that looks very similar (below), except that it has holster rash on the muzzle,
the frame sides, the side plate and scrape marks from the thumb safety.

I don't think it has been refinished. It's just an exceptionally nice example. They do exist. I don't see any of the typical signs of a reblue.
