BYF 41 Frame

midwestern31 · 05-27-2019, 03:01 PM

I got a new luger last weekend, a BYF 41 with a very good condition receiver with all parts matching. The frame and grips have a good amount of pitting but have been re-blued, and while the same number is stamped on the frame, the original number on the frame is stamped out with big XXX marks. I don't know whether the frame was replaced during wartime or someone found another one within the last 80 years and replaced it. I paid around $850 for it which I thought was a good deal.

I'd like to get another frame for it to match the receiver in terms of quality and looks.

Any idea of the price range of just a frame? I can't find any of them online. I'd trade someone if it's possible, but I'd like to keep this one for a backup.

Also there is no import markings on any part of the gun.

The pitting is deep enough that I might lose the lettering if I were to sand it and redo it, and I'd rather just keep it as it was.

Any ideas?
