I have a 1940 Luger that I believe was put together late in the war with spare/replacement parts. Serial number 7225 all matching, HZajt20, 1940 byf, Erfurt frame. Even the inside of the sideplate was numbered correctly with 72+1. Tom

Nice looking G date with the original matching magazine. The tool is a reproduction. I'm not sure about the grips. Tom

Nice looking Luger and holster!

Excellent!

Wow. I don't own any of his guns but it looks like I wish I did! I tried to straighten out some of the photos.

Very nice looking Luger!

My only High Power is also in the "a" block. Produced a little after yours. As Hambone stated about these it has a mottled finish. Tom

A 41 byf would have E/655 or E/135 proofs on the right side of the receiver. The magazine in the photo is not correct. The correct 1941 magazine would be a numbered aluminum bottom or a black bakelite unnumbered bottom depending which half of 1941 it was produced. Many people think a "Black...

Farb, I agree these grips give the gun a unique look. They are original and numbered to the Luger. I have seen other 42 byf's with similar ones.

To go along with my new 43 byf K98 here are three other byf's. Mauser was busy in the early 1940s.

I contacted Champlin last month about fixing a duffle cut and they replied they were too busy to do the work.

Very nice! Looks like a 41 or 42 byf P08.

What is the easiest way to remove the barrel band spring? Mine seems difficult to push in just using the thumb. Tom

Tanker, thanks for the pictures of the repair. :thumbsup:

One additional note on the gun. When I purchased it I was not aware of the duffle cut. When I first dissembled it out fell a 1945 Lincoln penny. I can only guess that the vet who did the duffle cut put the penny in as a spacer. The dings are from the cleaning rod. Tom

As a Mauser Luger collector I'm fully aware of the need to keep buying more!! I have purchased and read Vol. 2 of the K98 book but there is nothing like the help of some guys with lots of K98 knowledge to answer questions. The gun does have a duffle cut under the rear band and I have been...

Recently picked up my first K98, an all matching byf 43. Serial number 34728h. Many thanks to mdarnell19 and mrfarb for answering all my questions. Here are pics of the markings. Tom

Very nice Luger!! Tom

This helmet was found by my father and his brother in a house near Nuremberg during the war in 1945.

Any Luger with two original matching magazines is a great find!
