Tickkk/Bryon,
* Same question was asked by member #868(Pelorat) about 6 weeks ago.
* Do a search with "byf" as a key word AND member# "868". Just the info you're looking for can be "essentially" found. No one knows exactly how many 'cause the byf'42's, regular double s/eagle 655 byf'41's and maybe even a double s/E135 byf'41 (also unusual) were all being made together in this transitional no suffix block.
* Maybe sporatically within the month of Jan.,'42 would be more accurate.
* Still a Rare gun. What are the serial#'s you two??
* Mine is 6345_, a nicely re-finished VOPO with a sweet trigger. DDR style matched mag.
* A 1939 PT.08 would be remotely possible; but, usually leather is within a year of the chamber date. This suggests 1940-'41-'42 for the normally accompanying leather. Think bell curve distribution over '41. Yours probably would have had a '41 or '42 holster. Keep in mind the Russian campaign had started on 6/41 and most any '39 leather would have been diverted east. Still, a supply depot may have reached way back into the far corner and came up with an oldie. But, I wouldn't worry about this detail as anything during war was possible.
Respectfully,
WR
