What David said...

You have one that appears to be in extremely high original condition.

Black bakelite based magazines are not normally serialized to the pistol. Does this one have a "Ku" number on the left side of the receiver? These are more rare than normal 41 byf pistols.

The condition is so good, you should inspect it to see if it was possibly redone. There are internal parts that are normally in the white. There were also some prepared by workers at the end of the war for direct sale to GIs, and this could be one of them.

Don't store the pistol or magazines in the holster. The cosmoline could also do damage to the holster itself.
