Description:

The introductory year for Mauser P-38s, only around 700 "byf" code pistols were produced in 1942. Fixed sights, with "P.38" and "byf/42" on the left side of the slide, and "eagle/135" proofs on a number of components. Fitted with ribbed brown plastic grips and a "135" proofed magazine.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially refinished (cold blue on left side of barrel), with 70% of the faded original blue on the balance, showing areas of gray and brown patina, bright edge wear and scattered spotting and handling marks. Grips are fine, with some light scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
