KU BYF 41 Luftwaffe Marked Luger, HELP Please

Yep, Luftwaffe inspection stamps are what you are describing as weird marks. These are rare but you have a full rig (is there a loading tool in the holster?) and it is worth $2500 comfortably. How much more is hard to tell but it is worth polling the marketplace by auction to arrive at a good price. For the modest trouble you go to to have proper photos prepared and to provide a detailed description, you can auction the rig on AuctionArms, eg, and stand a good chance of a safe, profitable sale. Be sure to not keep the luger in the holster (you see what it did to the luger over 50 years). Don't mess with the holster as it is near mint and needs to be kept in a cool dry place out of strong light. Put a couple pencil-diameter pieces of white kleenex in the top of each belt loop to avoid cracking. Keep the holster unbuckled, also.


The second mag sounds generic period while the first mag is a great addition to the pistol, being a factory mag for that gun.


Congratulations. Here in Colorado, $2500 might be low to normal for that gun in 90-95% condition but I think it could go for $3200 with some persistence.


There is a Krieghoff for sale here for $3600 that has two matched mags and a holster. Your Ku41 would be somewhere between $2300 and $3300 around here, I guess.
