Info on BYF 42 rig?

[siegersallee]

Hi Danewfixer69,

What's a "danew"?

That appears to be a very collectible luger in excellent condition. I am not total sure; but, I believe that 1942 lugers are not that common. Perhaps one of the luger gurus here will chime in with more authoritative knowledge.

The serial number does not give any indication of where a luger is made.

I do not think this is a police pistol. I feel it is pure Wehrmacht.

Yes, I would NEVER fire a collectible luger, as this one is, for fear of breaking something and thereby diminishing a collectible and valuable piece of history. If you want to experience the joy of shooting a luger, look for a nice refurbished luger and get thee to a range.

BTW, welcome to the forum. As you have surmised, there are a number of astute collectors on this forum and they happily answer questions. I have benefited greatly from their experience and knowledge.

Happy collecting...
Richard
