Narrowing it down...(the first purchase, that is...)

You will find a "Black Widow" byf41 with the original black plastic grips. Unfortunately, the magazine is not original to the pistol, but is the magazine that was brought home with it by the capturing veteran I bought it from. The mag shown is an extruded nickle-plated police magazine with aluminum bottom and this magazine was manufactured by Haenel Schmeisser.

I guess after looking at the Owner's Corner, that I am the only one who is listing photos of a Black Widow. It is my understanding that those Lugers made by Mauser and coded byf 42 also had some that were fitted with black plastic grips, but all those shown in the Owner's Corner are displayed with wooden grips.

Mine was refinished back in the 1970's when I bought it... all that is there in the writeup.

A fine Mauser made shooter...
