WTK: byf 42 Luger value (Pics)

Well, I bought it. Looking at it in the sunlight, I can see that it is indeed the original finish. I think his 85% finish rating was being conservative. This Luger looks like it has only holster wear. The mag fits/extracts so well that I'm wondering if it could be the original mag issued with the gun. It is an FXO and is not numbered. The grips are not numbered, but show signs of having been with this gun for a long time. Did the Germans relax on their serial numbering of these parts towards the end of the Lugers production?

The holster is indeed a P38 holster and shows wear marks of having holstered a P38. It was no doubt added with this pistol not long ago. I'll use it for my P38 shooter.
