vonfranco · 12-22-2014, 11:38 PM

mine is 4752 I . no bore ga. #s. can you tell me anything about it? it has aluminum magazine and number matching walnut grips. Thanks Frank

Frank · 12-23-2014, 10:56 AM

Hi vonfranco, byf 42, serial number 4752i was completed about June 1942. The correct magazine is a fxo type with either aluminum or black plastic bottom un-numbered.

Thanks for the data.

Newbie here.

5834F
No gauge numbers I see.
Love the markings on the holster.
Same old questions. What do I have? Is it German Military?

Thank you, Marvin

MrHat, Thanks for the info. Looks like a nice one !!!

kpf, thanks for the information. Your 42 byf, serial number 4700b should have a bore gage. Is it possible the pistol was rebarreled?

I have a 41 byf, Z-Block the doesn't have a bore gage, so your Luger might be correct. Please let me know.

kpf · 02-14-2015, 04:36 AM

Hello Frank

I don't think so the number 4700 is at the correct place!

Regards

Kai

Frank · 02-14-2015, 09:35 AM

kpf, it just could be mistake or a pistol that was rebarreled at a later date. Let us call it a good one!! Thanks again!

kpf · 02-14-2015, 05:32 PM

I will post picture tomorrow.

kpf, the suffix on your 42 byf is "D", not "B". So it shouldn't have any bore gage on the barrel. Thanks for the pictures!!

kpf · 02-16-2015, 03:50 AM

Oh sorry, post the nr from the memory. ;-))

Joe Inabnett · 08-05-2016, 07:26 PM

I recently bought a 42 byf, which is Russian dipped and stamped as import on the barrel. The Serial no is 116 l and frame is marked E/135 E/135 and eagle. The barrel is marked 116, but no chamber dimensions. Maybe a new barrel as it has stamped "luger P.08 9mm Germany" and imported by CAI***. When I inspected it found a replacement firing pin and sunburst markings on trigger guard. It shoots o.k. but I got a used mauser firing pin from Tom Heller. Haven't tried the mauser firing pin, but I do not expect any problem. Joe Inabnett

my "42" byf S/N 2011l; no bore gauge
sent PM

Joe Inabnett · 08-06-2016, 10:27 AM

I shot my byf 42 luger today with replacement mauser firing pin. No 611 l performs perfectly, recycles and is accurate for my short test fire. This is a Vopo rework with sunburst stamping. I am happy with this latest addition. Joe Inabnett

Lugerdoc · 08-07-2016, 09:01 AM

Joe, Happy to learn that all is well with the new FP. Your pistol was among the last sent to the German army, as most in the m and N suffix blocks went to Portugal on contract. TH

Joe Inabnett · 08-07-2016, 03:46 PM

Lugerdoc For your info, I also test fired the vopo replacement FP, which had a slightly different appearance than the standard mauser. It too fired consistently, but I am keeping the Mauser F.P. as more original to the 42 byf. Thanks for your help. Joe

JZ1018 · 09-05-2016, 02:49 AM

Serial number 3581e
no bore gage

Tman07 · 09-05-2016, 06:53 PM

I have 42 byf, 2720 L with no bore gage.
