A little confused about the tech. info at this web site..

The only thing left to be said is that S/42 is only one of the codes for the Mauser plant. The Germans kept changing them to confuse it's enemies into thinking there were more plants than there really were, or where certain war products were being produced.

42 and byf are also Mauser codes from the third reich.

Never be afraid to jump in and voice your opinion on this site, that is what makes this site so much fun... the interactive aspect. I have studied Lugers for almost 40 years and not a week goes by that I don't learn something here I didn't know. Most of my studies were done years ago, and there is much more info available today that can contradict things that were believed back in the 50's and 60's.

regards,

John
