Mauser Banner '42........??

In my opinion the toggle has been changed on this pistol from a byf to a Banner toggle. The magazine rivots also look to have been messed with. --- Very, very few 42 two digits Banners have a sear safety or an Eagle L stamp, and they should be in the low 8000Y serial range. The 42 two digit Banners in the W block did not have either the Eagle L or the sear safety to my knowledge. They also had strawed small parts. Both 42 two digit variations are found with police marked 1 and 2 numbered magazines, so apparently they were self purchase guns for the police. --- Bill
