Description:

Nicknamed the "Black Widow" Luger by GI's during World War II due to appearance. Fixed sights, with "42" date on the chamber and "byf" manufacturer code on the toggle. The barrel extension is marked with a pair of "eagle/135" proofs and an "eagle/swastika" proof, which is repeated on the barrel and breechblock. Excluding the unnumbered "fxo" magazines and grips, numbers are matching overall. Marked "P.08" on the side, with a full blue finish and checkered grips. With a black leather holster marked "cww" and "1942", extra "fxo" magazine, and an unmarked blued steel takedown tool.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 95% of the original blue finish, showing bright holster edge wear and minor handling and cycling marks overall. The grips are very fine, with some light nicks along the edges and a few dings on the checkering. The holster is very fine, with some mild scuffs and cracks, along with a hand-scribed number added to the back. Mechanically excellent.
