Actually one of the comments is nearly correct as far as acceptance marks are concerned. Most of the 41-byf Lugers were marked with a SE-655 SE-655 acceptance during the n through z production. During the no suffix block the SE-135 inspector came upon the scene. Consequently, the transition fron the SE-655 inspector to the SE-135 acceptance started with the SE-655 and SE-135 acceptance (rare gun). By the end of the no suffix block all 41-byf pistol had the SE-135 SE-135 acceptance marks. At least that is what I have been told. These pistols had 122 code magazines until the end of the - p - block. By June of 1941 any combination of fxo magazine ands walnut/plastic grips was the order of the day. the 41-byf pistol production came to an end in the - b - block of the 42-byf production. Somebody told me that 1000b was the highest know 41-byf.
