1937 Mauser

ok, the byf equals Mauser but your code should be either S/42 or 42 (I don't remember, but know its one of them), byf was in 41 and 1942.

At some point, someone put the wrong toggle back onto the wrong receiver. It could have been at war or it could easily have been after the war (after capture). Even if grandfather did not swap it on purpose, it may have happened. It is highly doubted that it would have stayed in service like that but anything is possible if swapped out by a soldier or unit armorer -
