The reason I brought it up is that I have an all original matching byf 42 which was a vet bring back and included a very nice brown 1939 Carl Ackva holster and a near mint FXO aluminum base completely un-marked, magazine. The grips have the last two digits of the serial # plus the E/135 acceptance stamp. I would rate the finish at about 95% or better. I see no reason, other than loss of the original, for it to have a replacement magazine. Now for the S/42 magazine, I have one of those too, the condition is very good, no serial number, but it is of the sheet metal formed type, not an FXO. It also has the DWE 63 stamp of Mauser.
