Description:

Late WWII production luger with 42 over the chamber and marked "byf" marked on the top of the toggle. There are two eagle 135 Waffenamt proofs on the right side of the barrel extension, next to a single eagle firing proof, which is also stamped on the right side of the barrel and breechblock. A smaller "eagle/135" is stamped on the upper left rear of the barrel. It has the late "P.O8" markings on the left side of the frame. The upper safety area and extractor are marked "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" respectively. The magazine is an all blue version that is marked on the side "122/Eagle 37", which is numbered 3893 on the aluminum base. This version has the all blued finish with checkered walnut grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. 90% original blue finish remains overall. The balance with wear on the high spots with a few small touch ups on the grip strap. The grips are in very good plus condition with nice checkering on both sides with even honest wear across the top of the checkering. It has all matching numbers except the magazine. A solid representative example of a late "byf" coded Mauser luger pistol.
