Ed, thanks its a real nice luger. I believe it a veteran bring back came in US shoulder Holster with soft skin leather cover sowed to fit gun. (feels like a chmois towel)

Howdy,

Kemp, thanks for the data on your 42byf. As always, it's most appreciated!

Danewfixer69 · 09-01-2014, 02:25 AM

No problem!

FYI, I'll be posting some pics of it later because I have a few noobie questions.

Hello,

Newly bought 42 BYF, SN 978 with what I believe to be a lower case E under it. Any info?

Frank · 11-17-2014, 08:34 PM

Benjamin, thank for the data on your Luger. Mauser Military Luger byf 42, serial number 975e, was completed about March 1942. Beyond that, there isn't much more I can add.

CaliforniaPerspective · 11-18-2014, 12:53 AM

Wow I'm a jerk, no bore numbers on mine.

Should have unmarked aluminum based fxo mags correct?

Thanks!

Frank · 11-18-2014, 10:34 AM

Benjamin, U Betcha! Either a blank bottom aluminum or black plastic fxo would be correct!

CaliforniaPerspective · 11-18-2014, 11:22 AM

Awesome! Thanks!

vonfranco · 12-23-2014, 12:38 AM

mine is 4752 I . no bore ga. #s. can you tell me anything about it? it has aluminum magazine and number matching walnut grips. Thanks Frank

Frank · 12-23-2014, 11:56 AM

Hi vonfranco, byf 42, serial number 4752i was completed about June 1942. The correct magazine is a fxo type with either aluminum or black plastic bottom un-numbered.

Thanks for the data.

Newbie here.

5834F
No gauge numbers I see.
Love the markings on the holster.
Same old questions. What do I have? Is it German Military?

Thank you, Marvin

Frank · 02-10-2015, 12:00 PM

MrHat, Thanks for the info. Looks like a nice one !!!

kpf · 02-13-2015, 05:44 PM

Hello

A 42 byf ser 4700 b no bore gauge came in today.

Regards

Frank · 02-13-2015, 06:58 PM

kpf, thanks for the information. Your 42 byf, serial number 4700b should have a bore gage. Is it possible the pistol was rebarreled?

I have a 41 byf, Z-Block the doesn't have a bore gage, so your Luger might be correct. Please let me know.
