Hello again Aaron. Thanks for the photo. Dwight is correct regarding the takedown lever. It should be blue and numbered "89". Your Luger was completed in about January 1941. The 1941 pistols started with the number about 2500n. In 1941 the Germans changed the Ordnance Code for Mauser from "42" to "byf". The 41, Code 42 Lugers were a combination of the new 41 receivers and the unused toggles from the 1940 production which were marked with the earlier Ordnance Code or "42". In the same number sequence, there is an overlap with the 41 byf Lugers.
Have you been able to field strip the pistol to determine if there are any other parts that do not match the basic serial number?
