I just purchased a 41 BYF KÃ?? from a very well known collector. The gun is mint in and out and all matching with all proper markings. The receiver and side plate have the small 42s as well. I did notice that the finish as mentioned before, is some what dull and gives that appearance of a post war Russian rework. But it is pretty obvious that the gun was not buffed since the crude machine tool marks are present as those produced during that period for military issue. Also, both wood grips have an E/655, one without a number and the other with a different number(very faint). The grips are in excellent shape. Is it normal for these guns to have non-numbered grips?
Thanks, Tony S.
