Bohler Barrel
 

on a 1942 BYF Luger? Is it possible or is this a replacement barrel? Would such a barrel reduce the value of the Luger itself? If so, what estimated percentage? Thanks to all.

Hairy -

Is the barrel numbered to the gun? If so, do the numbers appear identical in shape and size to those on the frame?

While I can't make out the numbers confidently (from a photo), they appear to be the same shape and size as the numbers on the frame, so the answer would be a qualified Yes.

This rings a little bit in the back of my head?

Is it marked Bohler or is it marked BO and a number?

I think if it is Bohler on the barrel, it is a replacement, but post war. I have never heard of a WW2 gun with a bohler marked barrel.

Correction: Please disregard the question; the owner of the Luger sent me the wrong photos (1913 Erfurt) and just let me know of the mistake. I appreciate the responses. FYI: It was Bo 24, not Bohler.

Hairy,

It would be interesting to know all the details of this pistol. B�¶hler Stahl was the supplier of steel for some DWM barrels, but it is not known as a supplier for Erfurt.

Dwight,

I'm sorry.

In my haste to stop anyone researching needlessly, I made the mistake of saying it was an Erfurt; I re-read the email from the owner and he said it has a DWM toggle. Boy, talk about one error leading to others!!!!

In that case, you might want to go to this discussion Jan Still's B�¶hler Steel Survey and add this gun to the list.
