Is byf more expansive than 42 universal on the market?

He seems to think so.

What does 3rd Reich Lugers say for approiximate numbers made of each?

I would say a byf is worth more than a 1941 42; but less of them made I think.

I usually check on-line and see what has sold at gunbroker to judge if I am hiugh or low on a gun; I only look at sales that have sold, I don't even consider asking price unless it is a no reserve auction.

Ed, to someone who is not a "nazi" collector but a Luger collector a 1941 42 code is worth a hell of a lot more money than a byf.

I didn't make that comment on this thread

Alvin, while I might disagree with the quoted production numbers, I would say the 41 Code 42 Lugers were only produced in about one month. So the ratio is 1 in 12 versus 41 byf 11 in 12.

Geroge is absolutely correct. In the same condition, the 41 Code 42 is a much greater value than the 41 byf.
