byfs worth more?

Ironic how things change. When I bought my 41 byf ten years ago the seller apologized for its ugly black grips and I didn't like them either. But for $500 I couldn't pass it up as it was in near mint condition and I knew I'd never find a nicer Luger. And soon later I loved the way those black grips matched the deep black blue finish.

Thanks for those excellent points RockinWR, and I hope Frank does have a few more!

I'll add one that occurred to me: 1941 was the year the United States entered WWII. Since I have a 41 byf it would be nice to have a mint 1917 DWM to go along with it!
