Luger Stolen 12 Years Ago!
 

This Luger was stolen 12 years ago from my friend house in Croatia. When he heard happy news he came from Germany. We find Luger few mounts ago. One man wants to legalize luger. Legalize in Croatia was ended in february 2008. All numbers is matching, but reciver is from Erfrut Luger. I think this is byf 41. What do you think about this Luger, is it original finish, and value? Thanks!

The gun blue is not original. But, I don't think that's a big deal in many countries. So far, I found only a few English forums (not all) care about that skin of gun blue.

I think folks in the USA care, because they have so many more to choose from than many other folks do.

This is a parts Luger. It is of no interest to Luger collectors in the US, but for shooting purposes it has a value of about $700 US.

Not so sure it's a refinished Luger, with the exception of the non-matching toggle train. It could just be the light..

The reddish colour on the receiver reminds me of one I have

I would consider finding a #35 BYF toggle - and if I should sell it, notify about the replacement. The bakelite grips alone is worth quite a bit if original ..but on the other hand, the crime scene-photo would lower the value for me ;)
