DATA REQUEST for 42 byf Lugers

318is_Parabellum · 08-04-2013, 05:02 PM

Appropriate first post?

One of my lugers (my first, bought 5 years ago in Richmond VA) is a:

byf 42 serial# 7035c
8.81 bore gauge
matching numbered walnut grips, WaA135, WaA135 E/S on right side of frame

non-matching #73 'axle pin' (?)
"blood pitting" on matching sideplate (sure looks like a 'spatter' pattern, too), otherwise pretty nice original finish with some wear and spots of pitting...
non-matching extruded Al bottom fxo mag # 254y #2

pics in next day or so, hopefully

thanks, glad to be here!!
