Hi Rich (richie301), Those grip strap markings look like Weimar era unit marks to me, but since that's outside my field, I can't help. We do have a couple of Weimar specialists on the forum who might chime in.
Hi Rich (postino), By coincidence the subject of byf toggle chamfers was discussed recently on the other forum. It seems that the change to the wide chamfer occurred towards the end of 1941. Regards, Norm |

Hi Norme, the middle byf Luger it looks it is darker blue, is it the photo or they were made like this.
I have bought a byf-41 and although I have not recieved it yet on inspection I noticed that is a bit more darker than what I think it should be and I bought it as "original blueing." I will post pictures as soon as I have it. Alf.

Hi Alf, Some variation in the color of Mauser's salt blued (mid 1937 onwards) guns is common. It was either due to depletion of the chemical bath, temperature variation or both. Sometimes one sees plum colored parts also. Best regards, Norm
