byf 41 Luger questions

Moonlitin · 02-11-2009, 12:30 AM

I found a byf 41 Luger for sale locally, but I really don't know anything about them, so I'm looking for a little help.

The serial numbers don't match, so I already know that it's not going to have a lot of collector value. It also has some holster wear, but all of the parts, and the bore, appear to be very original and serviceable. The grips are black, checkered, and the magazine is marked "fxo" and "P08".

I'd like a luger that I can shoot without feeling like I'm destroying a piece of history, so this could probably be just right for me. I have no idea of the value of a "shooter grade" luger though.

Any advice form the experts here would be appreciated.

Thanks

a shooter luger goes from $450-$700, maybe more if unusual or has a extra mag and holster with it.

Much depends on what pieces are mismatched, major pieces, yeah, just shooter value. A hold open, well, not bad...
