Date of Manufacture?

Vboy · 06-06-2004, 02:09 PM

I have a Luger with replaced parts. The replaced barrel extension is dated 1937, but the toggle shows BYF, which I believe indicates that the original gun was produced by Mauser in 1941 or 1942. With help from this site I have just identified the serial number suffix as Z. So the original serial number was 39xx Z. Can anyone tell me what this indicates regarding time of manufacture?

Thanks,

Vboy
