BYF 41 Ku

[waltherguy]

We'll I have posted pics of this gun before on a Ku thread.. but the owner finally decided to sell it along with the holster it was purchased with 30+ years ago (see holster thread) so I decided to grab it. This Poor old girl is rough as you can see... And although I probably paid to much.. I guess I bought it only because it was a Ku & had Bakelite grips. Couple questions I have are, the serial is 1069 and I see no evidence whatsoever of a suffix? The barrel is totally unmarked although there may be a small Ku proof that pitting has all but made disappear. The Toggle is also stamped with the Ku proof. Its all matching except for an unnumbered toggle pin & the sideplate (if anyone has a Mauser sideplate stamped 69 please let me know! ) And lastly... although this topic is of much debate.. any thoughts on having someone like Thor try & restore it? Or should I leave it alone.. I'd usually not consider it.. but as you can see its pretty rough..

Thanks guys!
