"42 byf"

[intelliprop]

This p.o8 has "42" on the top of the receiver, "byf" and 27 on top of the toggle. Other markings: what looks like three "eagles", rt side of receiver, and one more on the barrel, just forward of the three on the recever, the first two of which have "135" below. On the opposite side of the receiver is "527" which also appears on the frame in front of the trigger and underneath the barrell. The numeral "27" appears on the side of the release pin, ejector, and frame (inside), and safety. Another symbol, and inverted "y" appears below the "527" on the front of the trigger guard. Inside of the frame, in a bored out region, in front of the trigger is a "u", with the numeral "1" and "0" aside and above the "u". No serial numbers anywhere. This pistol is like new, blued complete, no pits or cracks anywhere. Can anyone tell from this who manufactured it, about when, and what military unit it may have been issued to? Even more, what soldier carried it?
