DATA REQUEST for 42 byf Lugers
Greetings Luger Nuts!!
I would like your assistance collecting data for the 42 byf Military Mauser Luger. The data I am seeking are the serial number and the presence (or absence) of the bore gage stamped on the underside of the barrel. As always, I will collect the data, not the personal information that goes with it. If you are reluctant to publish the data, please send me an email with the information at: mrbguy@msn.com for the uninitiated, please make sure you are providing data for a 42 byf! The top of the Luger should look like the following photo (except for the small part numbers): PIC 1 The serial number should consist of both a number and a letter suffix, which is found on the front of the frame, as shown below. PICTURE 2 Note the suffix in this case is a â??câ?, so the serial number would be reported as 6734c. Many serial numbers are reported as just the numerical value found on the frame front or on the barrel or the left side of the receiver. PICTURE 3 THIS IS NOT CORRECT since it lacks the letter suffix. The bore gage will consist of a 3 digit number, like 8,82, 8,83, 8,84, etc. and is found on the underside of the barrel adjacent to the numerical part of the serial number, as shown. PICTURE 4 I would like to know if this bore gage number is stamped on the underside of the barrel. So please provide the information as: 6734c, with bore gage, or 9147k, no bore gage. Thanks in advance and be confident I will publish all the information when the study is completed. |

Yup, I did and sent you the following reply yesterday:
Johnny, Thanks for the data!! I am trying to determine when the bore gage was dropped. So far I can safely say somewhere in the D-Block. But there are always exceptions! Best Regards, Frank |

Bob M, thanks much or the data - most appreciated
Thierry, there is a small problem with your data. The serial number 8667s is too early for a 42 byf!! Could you have mis-read the "S" suffix, or perhaps the pistol is really a 41 byf. Please check!! |
