Black Widow with Mauser Banner Magazine

garandguy56 · 08-24-2013, 09:02 PM

Any help would be MUCH appreciated on this one. It looks to be a Black Widow all matching and includes a Mauser Banner magazine and one regular P.08. Seller wants $1500 for it!

The grips are not true "black widow" grips. They look like painted wood or some aftermarket synthetic.

Here are other pictures. I think the grips are original but dark in color...definitely not plastic.

As much as I know this sort of P.08 had distinctive black bakelite grips with some sort of a brim all around them and un numbered black plastic magazine bottoms. I might be wrong but I strongly doubt that those grips are original.

grip can be found for $150 or so at most gun shows. original black one.

I'd like to know where you can find original Luger byf41 / byf42 black resin grips for $150. The ones I've seen are $350-400. If you have a line on any, please PM me.

Are these grips numbered to the gun and also are they painted or just oil soaked? Our own Hugh Clark can probably work wonders on them if they are matching and worth the effort.
