1941 Mauser(Byf) Luger P08*War trophy*

[Edward Tinker]

Nice, a nice but sad gun because of the stock lug.

This is a luger made in 1941 (41) with code name of byf (Mauser).

The grips help for a collector who likes this kind of thing, but to the average collector, that is a detractor and then the ground stock lug knocks it down to shooter status to many folks.

So, lets go low and high values (say I was buying it for my table and you were selling it)

2 matching mags, wow, they look real

ok, low value, gun $550, 2 matching mags, add $300, holster (if not cut down or other modifications) $150, tool $40 = $1040

high value, you push the 2 matching mags, unusual / rarer for a army, so $800, 2 mags, add $300, $200 for WW2 holster, tool and ammo, another $75 (if tool is marked, say eagle 655 or eagle 63 add $25) = $1375

Insurance $1500-$1600

If the stock lug had not been ground you could double the price, but having it fixed would not make it collectable, per-se, and would cost probably around $500 to do...

my 2 cents

And, is this a family gun? If any family member is known, I would be interested for my vol III
