looks original to me Joe, but let's hear some consensus from others before we call it a fact...

Joe, It difficult to verify originality with actually examining the rod, but it is the small loop type that was used with the Portugese BYF/42 PO8s in their M43 holsters. The earlier Weimar era Police ones were the large loop type and usually unblued. TH

Joe, I would say that your rod is original, since the none theaded end is slight rounded and the repros where generally cut off square. Also most of the n & m range 42 BYFs from Portugal were originally exported to Canada, these a good chance of finding the accessories up there. Tom

Since we now have such fine photos from josef,
perhaps someone have pictures of a fake rod(s) to compare with?

Thank you very much Gentlemen. I was hoping it would be for a German P08, rather than a Portugese. I have never seen a Portugese P08 before, their holsters must have had a slot for the rods? Thanks again for your expertise Gentlemen, it's a great forum!

Joe,
I have 2 M943 ``m`` block Portugese Rigs ( one of each produced: blued & parkerized ) The rod is very similar to the ones issued with those and with the above comments made, I believe it's probably a Portugese one... I probably have pics somewhere, send email for such...you have my info... Marc |
