Slight color variance

Question on that last photo. Did all the BYF guns have the chamfered portions of the front toggle link, as seen directly above and below, (or right and left in the photo) the BYF inscription? I recall that being common to Erfuts but not DWM's, and I have none of the later guns here to look at.
I'm sure it is common and I just never noticed. Just curious.

Hi David, All Lugers that I'm familiar with have chamfered edges on their middle toggle links. 1942 byf Mausers had noticeably wider chamfers but I don't know exactly when the change took place. Ezra's gun looks fine to me.
Regards, Norm
