What kind of emblem is this? (looks like palm tree)
Any ideas on what this is? I have had several responses and would like to know for sure. This is a 1941 Mauser BYF. Any help would be appreciated. The suffix is only on the receiver by the way. Also sorry about the pic quality but it's the best my cam will do on a close up.

Have you tried clicking on "Technical Information" then "Markings" then "Photo Examples of Suffixes"? The photos there can be a big help. My first guess is "x". Second guess is "r" and then I'm out of guesses.

Looks like an "X" to me also, but compare it to the suffix pages.

Thank you guys for the input. It sorta looks like an x. If indeed it is that symbol than that would put my byf close to production halt. I don,t know, but anyway thanks again. Later Danny

Danny, there is a 'X' suffix mag on Ebay, they don't come around too often. The number doesn't match your's but still it's an X suffix.

Thanks for the inf Herb. I,ve got 2 FXO mags with the rig. I really thank you. Is my luger uncommon because of the X? Once again thank you. Regards
Danny B

Danny, a flip answer would be, as uncommon as any other letter...
But if we were to look at the approx numbers of lugers made in Jan Still's books, we could figure out approx # of each letter. Rarer than in WW1 they went through the alphabet in several years... I don't beleive that an "x" would be as common. Ed

Herb,
The Magazine on Ebay looks like a Police mag. Kinda hard to tell, but it looks like there is a 1 opposite the x. SteveM |
