Another 41 byf

Thanks, Tom, what a beautiful byf! And you're right I did post in that thread two years ago...

Amazing how good yours looks after 70 years and mine is pretty close. I also love seeing two nice examples made so close to each other. It would be pretty darn hard to find another near as good in our little group of 207 byfs manufactured over a period of days at the Mauser factory.

I do have pictures of my grips inside and out, I'll dig up the link and post it soon. They are Type 4 black bakelite grips like yours. Thanks again for all the help and getting me straight on my actual serial number.

ETA: pictures of grips inside and out added to original post.
