I should have mentioned that many 41 byf Lugers have been reported in the N-Block and without exception, when examined, have been in the P-Block.

Also many 41/42 N-Block Lugers have been reported as P-Block and when examined are actually N-Block.

This is pretty common, especially for beginner collectors and in some cases experienced collectors. It took quite a while for me to convince Hallock there were no N-Block 41 byf pistols. He eventually came around.

I think it's pretty easy to see the confusion just from these posts.

Tom, thanks for the data on your 3513n 41/42!! There are roughly 1000 of these critters around. I suspect many went to the Russian Front and are still there in the ground. I have seen several that had the "X" Russian Capture Mark on them. These little jewels are tough to come by. Congratulations on yours!!
