Good evening forum members,
Just to share and to get some feedback about this rig. Found for consignment in a local gun shop . It is a byf 42 with all matching parts . One concern I have is I could not find any markings on the grips. The screw retainer hole is threaded on both grips and both are located at the bottom at the grips. (They feel like bakelite ,from a weight perspective) There is the normal holster wear and some small pitting on the barrel . It came with a bml /42 holster. One of the loops was repaired and I don't know if this was done in the period or later. It has the correct magazines , fxo ( 37 ) with the black plastic bottoms . the spare magazine has same damage to plastic piece. The holster came with a take down tool marked 655 . I am not sure if this correct since the gun has all 135 . Barrel inside is still bright. No import markings ,and the gun shop owner told me it was in the consignors family possession for a long time. I have read all I could find on this forum and would appreciate your feedback on : is this the correct take down tool ? are the grips original ? the holster repair - was it done professionally in the period ? if not woud be wise to have it redone ? how many of this type were actually produced ( serial # 3562 a )? What percent blueing would consider this rig? What kind of value would you put on this rig ? Still don't understand for certain what the hump at the back side of the frame is. Is it correct that this humps wer made on only 1934 Lugers to prevent the toggel from falling out ? All byf 42 were put together from leftover parts? I am very excited , since this is my first rig I just purchased today . I appreciate all the information you can provide . Greetings , Guenter Weber |
