Hello Jerry, to answer your questions:

1. What do the designations "42, S/42, or byf" mean?

Answer, during the prewar and then WW2 years, the German gov't decided they would hide the manufacturerâ??s names, so designations of letters or numbers were used. 42, S/42 and byf are all codes for Mauser.

And is the Lugar an "accurate" gun?

Answer, the Luger is much more accurate than others, but not as accurate as some. A riddle because it is a military gun and was made to function in all weather. Still the Luger can be finicky and not always feed well, but I think my Lugerâ??s are very accurate.

And although there sometimes is a bit of controversy on Georg Lugers' name being spelled a certain way, most Americans and Europeans have decided it is with an E, as in Luger [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
