Fazer, if someone is not an advanced collector of Mauser Military Lugers, all 41 byf Lugers are the same!! The only difference is in the WaA Markings. So then the 41/42 Lugers would be more desireable than the 41 byf. However, the 41 byf with different WaA Marks are more difficult to find!!

My guess is the 41/42 or 41 byf with different WaA Marks would command a 10 to 15 percent increase in cost, for collectable Lugers for the same quality pistol over the double E/655 marked Luger. The double E/135 marked Luger is 5 to 10 percent above the double E/655 marked 41 byf.

Having said that, I have seen 41/42 near mint Lugers with a price tag of $3000. Gulp!!!

Good Hunting!!
