How do you trace serial # on 1941 Mauser byf
 

I inherited a 1941 byf with matching serial numbers 18xx "a", The gun is in good shape. I'm not sure how much blueing is on it, Estimate 80+. My father has had this gun since I can remember. Is there any way I can trace the serial number to find out more about this gun? Does any one know someone in michigan where I could get an accurate value, so that I can insure it?

Bear, it is almost impossible to trace the gun, although that is for historical purposes, it might be possible in some states to track a gun, as maybe some states keep the serial numbers in a data base?

To get a reasonable guess on value, we can help with that. Can you tell us any other markings on the gun?

Proofs? (see on your left under tech information if you came through www.lugerforum.com) Tell us what and where proofs and markings are located.

There are forms in this section, where you can print out and then write down pertinent information.

Can you provide pictures, to include side, top, etc?
