My humble Luger
Evening fellas,
Thought I’d share my Luger with you all. I’m from the UK so this is a deact, but that doesn’t mean I like it any less.
It’s a byf 41 Luger, with the serial number 7667, and, from what I can see, it is all matching minus the magazine. It’s heavily pitted all along the top and front sight, as well as around the trigger guard, and there is wear to the grips. The blue-ing in some areas has turned to a brown-ish colour, due to oxidation I believe, however i don’t collect guns usually so I may be wrong.

At the time of purchase I may have paid over the odds for a Luger like this in the condition it is in, but since the new deact laws in the UK, old-spec Lugers have become very valuable anyway. However I do not intend to sell, one because I like it, and two because I prefer to keep on the right side of the law :p
If I had to take a guess it’s probably been stored badly since the war in Eastern Europe and the rust has got to it. The reason I assumed Eastern Europe is that I heard deact dealers go over there to buy stock. Correct me if I’m wrong again.
Anyway I’ll stop waffling on
Kindest Regards,
Harvey
ps excuse the Michael Jackson-esque gloves, had it out for a light cleaning
