The byf models were anything but "last ditch"... the finest Mauser Lugers ever produced IMNSHO... they may not have had strawed small parts, but they were made with the latest metallurgy of the time, and "Luger" precision. Those "plastic" (actually bakelite) grips command some very high prices from collectors... I would never turn up my nose to having one in my safe...
