Info please-last lugers produced by Mauser in 1942-sold to Portugal 1943. Chamber date of 42 and toggle code byf-gun and accessories parkerized. Portuguese holster included. Is this a collectable? I know all lugers are collectable, but is this more than others. Any idea on buy price? Excellent condition.
Thanks for your help.

Dr.Frank, All of these Portugese (and some Bulgarian purchase) 42 BYFs should be in the m or n suffix letter blocks. Many of these were imported many years ago by Pedro Bello of Flordia with the usually importer marked UNDER the left grip panel (which is no longer allowed). Many have also come in thru Canada (most of the parkerized ones) and I believe that Doug Smith (FGS) has also recently imported a few. TH
