The ubiquitous asterisk mark appears on many types of WWII German guns. It is believed, in some collector circles, to represent a rejection mark and when the part was brought back into tolerance, it was used in a gun.

Thanks Mark, do any experianced collectors believe this mark should or would decrease or increase the sale price on a luger?

I don't think it would really have any effect for me. It is part of the history of the gun and overall condition is more important. Just my 2 cents worth......

Dave, I'm with you. The asterisk shouldn't have any bearing on the price!

I agree with you guys. Personally, I would like to have a 41 byf in my collection with this mark.
