World War II Mauser "byf" Code 1941 Production P.08 Luger "Black Widow" Pistol with Holster and Extra Magazine

Chamber dated "41" and toggle marked "byf", with "eagle/655" and firing proofs on the barrel and barrel extension with a firing proof repeated on the breechblock. Properly marked safety position and extractor and "P.08" on left side of frame. Matching full or partial numbers on the pistol. Checkered plastic grips and blue P.08 magazine with plastic base. Complete with a P.08 "dtu / 41" holster with an "eagle/WaA136" proof stamped on the back. An extra blue P.08 magazine with plastic base is included.

ConditionVery fine with exception of the replaced, renumbered to match side plate. The pistol retains 95% original blue finish on the balance, showing some mild thinning with some loss at the muzzle and some minor edge wear. There is some light spotting (mostly on the back strap). There is a small filled repair on the left grip panel above the magazine catch, otherwise the grips are very fine with a few minor nicks in the overall crisp checkering. The holster is very good with minor handling marks and flex wear overall with some material loss on the magazine pouch. The stitching is tight.
