My byf 41 Luger

Hey all! Thought I'd post some photos of my P08 I purchased earlier this year.

More photos. All numbers match :-)

Hi Joe,
Welcome to the forum. That’s a nice looking byf41 you have there. It looks all correct to me. Your photos are great too, thank you for your post.

Definitely a keeper.

On my monitor, the finish on the pistol has a slightly greenish cast. Is that real or is it an artifact of the photography?

Nah, it's the photos. I think it's the combination of the lighting plus I had to enhance them a little with a filter to brighten the photos up.

Hey Zeppelin, I like your BYF '41. I have a BYF '41 with serial ending in 78 just like you!! We could swap small parts and still be matching ! ? (My '41 is a little later, 1878z) Thanks for sharing.

Haha! That's awesome :-) that's true about swapping parts!

Hi.
Are the mags matching? A really nice pistol.

In a byf 41 they are most likely unnumbered.

Thanks, it's an unnumbered fxo mag. By the "y" block, that's what they would have been.

Here is a photo of the mag.

Here's my BYF 41 with a matching numbered mag. FXO straight eagle 37 Waa. Serial number 1991r. Nice gun overall. Seems there is no hard rule about numbered mags on these guns.
