Josef,
* "eqr"= G. Passier & Sohn, Hannover. May, 1941 and onward per John Walter, The Luger Book, Pg. 104, Entry E39.
* Passier PT.08's were inspected/accepted on behalf of the Heeres by WaA750.
* The sE/655 tool is correct for a byf 41. Probably matches the Waffen Inspector marks (2)on the right hand side of the pistol's receiver.
* Are the mag's maker marked "122" or "fxo" on the mag's side along with the Waffen Inspectors mark of E/37 ?? I suspect these are fxo as I see no sE/655 on the base plugs. Some mag code markings were transitioning about the "q" block. Also, some black plastic grips were beginning to show up. Does the leg of the "p" of the Mag's P.08 point toward the mag's spine or toward the middle of the mag's side??
* Cleaning rod was not normally issued with a '41 rig as the "tobacco tin" cleaning units were used by that time. However, there is nothing wrong with the rod coming with the rig and, from the pics provided, I see nothing pro/con with this accessory. Just not normally seen with a byf 41.
* Looks like a nice find. Thanks for sharing. Would enjoy seeing pics of the pistol when it arrives??
Respectfully,
Bob
