1941 Lugers

Fazer, if someone is not an advanced collector of Mauser Military Lugers, all 41 byf Lugers are the same!! The only difference is in the WaA Markings. So then the 41/42 Lugers would be more desireable than the 41 byf. However, the 41 byf with different WaA Marks are more difficult to find!!

My guess is the 41/42 or 41 byf with different WaA Marks would command a 10 to 15 percent increase in cost, for collectable Lugers for the same quality pistol over the double E/655 marked Luger. The double E/135 marked Luger is 5 to 10 percent above the double E/655 marked 41 byf.

Having said that, I have seen 41/42 near mint Lugers with a price tag of $3000. Gulp!!!

Good Hunting!!
