Hello Alex,


Let me give you a bit of information:


1. Toggle Inscription is BYF

This means it is a Mauser.

2. Chamber inscription is 42

Made in 1942

3. The toggle knobs are round but rough with ridges

Believe this is normal, but unsure, books aren't in the room

4. not sure about the grip safety

Does this mean there isn't one? That should be correct.

5. There is a thumb safety with GESICHERT written beside it

Normal

6. It has P-08 below the toggle knobs

Believe this is normal, but unsure, books aren't in the room

7. The grip is a black plastic

Believe this is normal, but unsure, books aren't in the room

8. It has a 2112 marking on the front on the side with the safety. and all the other parts have 12 on them

This is the serial number. Any script letters after or below the number? If not, then it is #2112 of the series.

9. The proof on it is number 46, it looks like 2 tri-planes and then the luftwaffe eagle carrying a circle, but underneath both the plane markings there is a 135. I also have the luftwaffe symbol on the barrel itself and one just below the chamber inscription on the left side, both of these markings are much smaller.

This should be normal, can we see pictures of any of this?

10. Im not sure of the calibre as I havent had a chance to put any shells against it, im guessing 9mm though.

Shold be 9mm for this year.

11. And it came in an old leather case which smells almost like smoked salmon..

I like smoked salmon.


So, most of this I grabbed from the technical area of the forum and memory, so if I was wrong, please correct me, ;>)
