Bill, is there a suffix letter under the serial number on the front of the frame (above the trigger guard). If so, that's part of the pistol's complete serial number .

you appear to have the correct matching magazine for your 41 byf. Does it have the correct WaAmt acceptance marking, and "fxo" stamped on it.

You are right to never consider making any changes to it like refinishing. It is a good honest Luger that was likely a battlefield capture. The wear demonstrates it's authenticity.

Do be careful about firing it. Breaking an original numbered part reduces it's value (historically and financially) quite a bit.

All in all, you have a very nice Luger.
