DATA REQUEST for 42 byf Lugers - Page 12

Frank · 06-01-2014, 10:13 AM

Phil, looks like you got a nice deal. If the pistol is all matching, you got a GREAT deal. Tom is correct, as usual, about the magazine. It will cost about $150 to $250 to get a proper magazine, depending on the condition.

Thanks yes took apart to clean on Friday and ALL parts are original and match. Gun was in a storage locker for more than 30 years before I bought so just some basic cleaning. I have a numbered magazine so may just keep it as a complete unit

I was reluctant to post info until I saw the dates on the most recent postings.
I just picked up a byf #3670a, 8,82.

Frank · 06-06-2014, 09:09 AM

Papaorca, thanks for the data. Is your Luger a 41 byf or 42 byf? The data range is in the 41 byf production.

Papaorca · 06-06-2014, 05:31 PM

The number "41" is over the chamber.

Frank · 06-06-2014, 07:04 PM

Thanks again, you have a 41 byf.

HI, 42 byf sn, 1400c, no ma=bore markings, Bill

Frank · 06-07-2014, 10:44 AM

Bill, thanks for the data. It's appreciated!! Although a little early for the lack of bore guage markings.

Howdy,

Newly bought 42 BYF, SN 7965 F, no bore gage.

Frank · 08-31-2014, 10:30 AM

Kemp, thanks for the data on your 42byf. As always, it's most appreciated!

Danewfixer69 · 09-01-2014, 01:25 AM

No problem!

FYI, I'll be posting some pics of it later because I have a few noobie questions.

CaliforniaPerspective · 11-16-2014, 09:36 PM

Hello,

Newly bought 42 BYF, SN 978 with what I believe to be a lower case E under it. Any info?

Frank · 11-17-2014, 07:34 PM

Benjamin, thank for the data on your Luger. Mauser Military Luger byf 42, serial number 975e, was completed about March 1942. Beyond that, there isn't much more I can add.

CaliforniaPerspective · 11-17-2014, 11:53 PM

Wow I'm a jerk, no bore numbers on mine.

Should have unmarked aluminum based fxo mags correct?

Thanks!

Frank · 11-18-2014, 09:34 AM

Benjamin, U Betcha! Either a blank bottom aluminum or black plastic fxo would be correct!
