Mauser Model P.08 Semi Automatic Pistol (byf/42), #5172e, 9mm, 4'' barrel, blue finish, checkered walnut grips, marked CCCP over chamber and ''CCCP/*'' on right side of barrel extension, with one unmarked blue-bodied magazine; aluminum base is marked ''S/42'' and ''(eagle)/63''. Condition is excellent as re-marked retaining approx. 90% of its original bluing with slight loss to the stock lug. All serial numbers match, except grips, which appear to be replacements. Chamber has been re-stamped with the Russian CCCP and the firing proofs and inspection marks have been removed from the right side of the barrel extension and stamped with a star and CCCP. The stamps appear to be professionally done, and while opinions vary as to their authenticity, this is still an excellent example of a Mauser byf /42 pistol. Action is tight, bore is very good with slight roughness to the grooves. Est.: $1,200-$1,800. (C&R/PPT)
