I recently acquired a 1941 byf P-08 Luger with black grips. I am not calling it a "Black Widow" but I believe some do. All the numbers match and it operates smooth with a nice muzzle and barrel. The finish is thin but original with a good strawberry. It appears this luger was carried a lot but not shoot much. I'd rather have the thin original finish than a re-blue. There are no import markings and I believe it to be a battlefield bring home. The magazine has the 08 markings and appears to be original for the luger but it doesn't have a matching serial number which my 1915 luger does? I've cleaned it and shot Winchester white box 9mm through it. It is very accurate and shoots smooth and well. I'll post photographs tomorrow or Wednesday. I was curious about the magazine and about the rarity. Overall it's a nice historical piece and I'm glad to have it in my collection. Also anything I should look for?

PS: I'm also looking for a correct tool and holster.
