Hi Dave,

When you're starting, I'd suggest you contact one of our more experienced collectors or one of the more reliable Luger specialists.

Just so you have a clue... for a byf42 Luger that is all matching numbers, That has never been refinished, without rust or pitting, you can expect to spend between $750 and $1400 depending on how much of the original finish remains, the condition of the barrel bore...and if there are any original accessories...

Hope this helped.

Admin Note: This price range is what I consider fair market value for a private sale... Dealer prices would be MUCH higher.

There are several byf 42 lugers on Simpsons list. Go to this link:

http://www.simpsonltd.com/

Then click on "Luger Room" followed by "Mauser Lugers" and scroll down the page.

You will find one with holster, two matching magazines and take-down tool listed for $2995 among the four shown.

I wish I could by it. It's difficult to be poor! :-))
