My new byf 41
At last I have some pics. This rig is really in nice condition.....at least to my inexperienced eye. I purchased it from a gentleman I know whose uncle brought it home for WWll. He served in the Third Army and liberated the Luger at Bastogne. I have more records regarding the provenance. This was very important in considering the purchase as I am a retired history teacher specializing in WWll and the Civil War. I know, I probably paid too much, but what the heck its only money.

dhusker,
Congrats on the the purchase of a byf 41 Luger... they are among the best ever produced by Mauser. Now, I hope you won't mind a couple of comments... first.. when you post on the Lugerforum contains photos, please upload the photos directly to the Lugerforum server using the link at the top of the page. Photos must be under 200Kbytes... One of the reasons why you should do this is that public image websites like the Photobucket often go out of business or reconfigure themselves and the links go dead so folks who don't read your post on the day you do it may never get to see the photos. Another reason to put the photos here instead of somewhere else, is many of the public photo websites are blocked by the security software of many businesses and government offices so that folks who work behind a security firewall would never be able to see your photos while working. Posting your photos on the Lugerforum server means that if a person has reading access to the forum, they will also be guaranteed to see the photos. While the photos you posted show a shiney looking byf 41, the lighting does not permit those looking to adequate see the finish and markings on your Luger... please try to use adequate lighting without causing reflections when ever possible. A lighter or brighter background will provide a better contrast with the item you are photographing. Thanks for sharing your purchase with the membership and the photos of your byf Luger and I hope you will consider these other factors when posting photos to share in the future.

Thanks for the suggestions. I indeed tried to upload to the forum server but didn't have any success. I'll give it another try with pics of my holster.

My eye is inexperienced as well but it looks very nice. I just bought my first Luger from Ed Tinker and I'm still mesmerized by the workmanship and beauty. Mine is a byf too and known by many (from the American coined term) "Black Widow". I also decided I needed a byf P38 as well but if I ever win the lottery my Luger collection will explode. Congrats on your purchase!

Don't know byf, it looks so far so good to me. I've never gone to any gun shows (!!), people went there coming back told me "they use loupes to check items, you should go there to see how they work, even if you don't buy anything". I thought about that, yes, making sense, but travel is not cheap, and I don't know what to look for under a loupe yet. Without loupe & gun in hand, I assume clear & sharp "regional" pictures are needed (encircled)... plus backstrap, muzzle, and tail of the toggle.... that might be the minimum set. |
