MeHighLow, thanks for the data. It's appreciated!!

Edward Tinker · 09-21-2012, 06:30 PM

Vlim · 09-21-2012, 06:44 PM

Portuguese contract: 5012m

No land-to-land caliber designation.

Mike B · 09-22-2012, 01:47 AM

Frank,
Just received what I would call an "AS NEW" 42 date byf (black widow). I honestly have never seen, much less owned a Luger this new. The serial number is 9368h with a 8.81 bore gauge.

Mike

Frank · 09-22-2012, 10:00 AM

Vlim & Mike B, thanks for the data!! It's appreciated.

Mike, please verify the bore guage and suffix. Most 42 byf Military Mausers after about the middle of the "D" Suffix didn't have the bore guage marked on the barrel. Thanks

Mike B · 09-22-2012, 12:09 PM

Frank,
I have posted a few additional pictures. Serial number is 9368h. BTW: I have never had a Mauser Luger with so much purple tint.

Mike

Frank · 09-22-2012, 08:54 PM

Mike, thanks for the new pictures. You indeed have an odd ball, serial number is 9368h with a 8.81 bore gauge. I also have an odd ball. A 41 byf, S/N 6290z, without a bore guage.

My only guess would be a production error that was either missed or perhaps a pistol part that had to be replaced in a latter stage of production.

Shadowrunner52 · 10-17-2012, 09:48 AM

Are you, or anyone else, collecting data on byf 41's?

Frank · 10-17-2012, 08:23 PM

Shadow, I collect data on all Military Mauser Lugers (that includes 41 byf). Please give me the data via email or private message. Thanks

Lyn Islaub · 10-18-2012, 04:05 PM

Jeez Frank, I can't believe that I didn't respond to this way back when. 934L / no bore guage.
Hope all is well, Lyn

Frank · 10-18-2012, 07:54 PM

Hey Lyn, thanks for the S/N. I'm doing okay. Hope you guys are well!!!

JRS · 10-19-2012, 12:50 PM

My byf 42 has SN 4517 d or a (both look the same) and has bore gauge 8.82. Purchased from Simpson Ltd. a couple of years ago. Came with worn walnut grip panels which I since replaced with repro black plastic panels. All matching numbers with Nazi eagle on right side of barrel. Nice shooter.

Frank · 10-19-2012, 04:32 PM

JRS, Thanks for the data. Chances arepretty good the suffix is a "D"!!!

Jim Solomon · 01-11-2013, 05:46 PM

592 g , no bore gauge number

Frank · 01-11-2013, 07:06 PM

Jim, Thanks for your data. It's most appreciated!

Raygunz · 01-12-2013, 09:25 PM

I figured this would be a good opportunity for my first post.

byf 42 barrel #5963 no bore gage. "g" designation "Black Widow" all matching 98% with 2 matching mags and a dld WaA195 black holster

Frank · 01-13-2013, 08:32 AM

Hi Ray, thanks for your data. I hope the 2 matching magazines are black plastic bottom "fxo" types without marks on the plastic.

Raygunz · 01-13-2013, 11:40 AM

No problem Frank. Yes they are black and fxo.
From what I understand, this was a set that had been kept together since its "liberation". Of course that and $4 gets you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
