Default Luger Questions

I'm fairly new to lugers and picked this one up a while ago. And from what I've read, its got me scratching my head as yo what it is I might have. Its a byf 41 mauser I believe based on the markings. Its also a Russian capture from the looks of it, and from what I've read the black plastic grips (which appear to be original and repaired at some point) could make this a "black widow"? Im looking for some opinions on if this is true or not. Any input would be appreciated.

Not sure what there is to scratch your head about, seems like a pretty nice condition BYF 41 Luger that was captured by the Russians. There is a test you can perform to see if the grips are original bakelite or replacement black plastic that was usually put on the Russian imported guns. Looks like some pitting on the right side and a replaced takedown lever, but otherwise in good shape.

Thank you. Yes. It does have some pitting around the grips on the right side. Was basically just curious about the grips and if there was a way to tell if they were real or fake. Do you know what the test is?
