Newjack with 1st Luger - take a look!

Jason L · 01-09-2010, 07:35 AM

Hello Fenian,
Better pics are required but I can see a few positive things.....
Holster wear in the right places,end of barrel and on the frame rails
The markings and serial #'s look pretty crisp
The safety bar is in the white
byf 42's were issued most commonly with black bottom unnumbered fxo mags According to Third Reich Lugers by Jan C Still which I highly recommend....it is currently out of print so it is kind of pricey.But worth every penny." buy books then guns"
Good luck,
Jason

Hi Fenian, If your Luger does not have any finish issues that can't be seen in the photos, and if ALL the numbers match, then it would be worth $1,500.00 to $2,000.00. Regards, Norm

The gun actually has an unnumbered (there are waffenamts present) fxo magazine with a repro mag bottom, which sounds like the mag may be original...maybe? Just need to get a proper bottom now.

As Jason stated, the magazine is proper for your 42 byf. Just try to get one like it without the chipped plastic part!! They are out there, but a little expensive!! Good Luck and congrats on your Luger!!!

Are the floorplates interchangeable, or are Luger mags a 1 piece deal?

I'm coming from the AR15 community - everything is interchangeable!

Thanks again.

Fenian, man, I'm glad I found someone more ugly than me!! I do like your color.

The plastic bottoms are one piece, molded from plastic. There are some replacements available.
