Need help with 41 byf Black Widow

New London Armory · 08-05-2009, 08:06 PM

Pictured below is a nice 9mm 41byf Black Widow Luger I purchased and I have a few questions about it.

Does everything look correct with it?

I've taken pictures of the bore.
A little ways back from the crown there are somewhat deep marks. (Deeper than light scratches)
Back near the beginning of the rifling there is another deep mark about the same as the other; maybe slightly deeper.
Does anyone know what may have caused this damage?
What does it do to the value of this Luger?

I believe the bluing to be 95-98%. There are two identical magazines. The loading tool has no markings.
The holster is pictured below and looks like a nice one.

Help with an estimated value for the set would be a great help also.

Thanks! I look forward to participating in this forum in the future and meet fellow Luger enthusiasts.

Just one posting needs to be posted on the forum of the same thing; I have closed this one.
