Description:

This is a standard late WWII German Luger dated "42" on the chamber with the late war "byf" Mauser code on the toggle. The right side of the barrel extension has the standard double "Eagle/135" Waffenamt acceptance proofs with the single "Eagle" firing proof next to the serial number. The left rear side of the frame is marked "P.08". The extractor and upper safety area are marked "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" respectively. It is numbered in the military fashion with the full serial number on the frame, barrel and barrel extension with the last two digits on the various small parts. It is complete with one blue German Army magazine with the black unnumbered plastic base that is marked on the side with the "fxo/Eagle 37/P08" proofs.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 90% plus of the original blue finish overall with wear on the edge and high spots with thinning on the grip straps. The grips are in very fine condition with nice checkering on both sides with some minor nicks and chips in the checkering. The left side of the barrel does show a minor line of pin-prick pitting that extends from the muzzle area to just before the shoulder of the barrel. A nice example of a late WWII Nazi "byf" code Luger pistol
