Just Joined...Hello to all!
 

Hello everyone,
Just joined the Luger forum and am just fascinated by the information and the knowledge of all the collectors who post here. I jumped in and bought my first Luger about 3 weeks ago at the OGCA show in Wilmington, OH. It's a matching byf 42 (except the magazine) and I thought I would post some pics for folks to see. I do have one question for those that can help me. I would like to know how to tell if the grips are original. I've taken them off and can see no markings other than what I think is the letter "V" on one of the grips. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
M.D.

What a wonderful rifle collection you have! Nice looking P08, but clinging to what I've read in books I'm a bit confused by it. There's no P.08 marking on the side of the frame? I learned all byf coded 08 should have that mark? Can it be that there're exceptions?

Looks to me, in the first picture there is a P.08 stamped on the left
side under the toggle. Kind of hard to see...

Nice luger!
 

Welcome from Croatia!
Nice Luger!

Better Photo...
 

Thanks for the replies. To answer the question, there is a very lightly struck P.08 marking just below the toggle as mentioned by Tharpo. Maybe a second photo will help.
