byf 42 luger info

According to what I've seen on the market, I would believe certain types of Lugers and Mausers were captured in unissued condition, either in Mauser factory, or in some storage places. Two typical examples are byf 42 Parabellum and Late 1930 Broomhandles. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why so many of them are in mint condition, the percentage of mint rate is way higher than other variations .... all restored? Highly unlikely because of the volume, and because of the relative value. Mint military byf 42 has the correct context, it does not have to be exceptional. For a specific instance, pictures speaks more than words.
