Description:

This is a late production WWII German Army Mauser Luger pistol rig. This has the "41" dated chamber area with the toggle marked with "byf", the wartime code for the Mauser factory. The right side of the barrel extension has the double "Eagle/655" Waffenamt proofs along with the single eagle firing proof. It is numbered in the military fashion with the full serial number (6671) stamped on the front of the frame, the left side of the barrel extension and the underside of the barrel, with the last two digits of the serial number (71) stamped on the various small parts. It has standard sights, standard safety/extractor markings and is complete with two late war matching magazines. The magazine bodies are marked "fxo/Eagle 37/P08" and both have the aluminum bases that are stamped with only the serial number and letter code. These late Mauser production Lugers have an all salt blued finish which is very dark in color, with the late "P08" frame markings on the left side. This pistol is complete with a black leather holster marked on the back "bml/41" with a Eagle/WaA788 proof. It is complete with a WWII take down tool marked with a faint "Eagle/655" Waffenamt proof.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 99% of the original blued wartime finish overall with only minor edge and high spot wear. The walnut grips are also in excellent condition with nice distinct checkering on both sides with only a couple handling marks on the lower left side. The holster is in very fine condition with a nice black finish overall with some wear and scuffing on the front edge of the flap. The markings are clear and distinct with tight stitching. An exceptional byf 41 P.08 rig with two matching magazines!
