Hello all! I have always loved Lugers. And I have lusted over my brother's shooter. And since I am a Mauser collector, I have been keeping my eye out for one.
This past weekend I found one! But, it was Chromed!?! The grips are plastic, and don't fit the gun well. One practically falls off. But it is in overall, very good condition. I wonder if you can tell me anything I don't know. And tell me an estimated value. Also, would you replace the grips with wood or find a plastic grip similar to the existing.
This is what I know:
The previous owner bought it back in the 60's (don't know where). It is marked BYF (Mauser) and 41 (1941?). Serial Numbers are all matching 2273. However, the clip is marked 2073. Barrel has Eagle over the swastika, and the side of the receiver has two stamps of 655 and an illegible symbol over them. There is also a fancy letter on the front of the trigger under the barrel that looks like a fancy capital L .
