1940 42, 41 42, byf 41 and byf 42 CODE PRODUCTION ESTIMATE AND DATA REQUEST
Reposted for data collection:

Based on information gathered prior to 1988, three codes of Lugers occupy the contiguous- consecutive “n� and “o� serial range blocks of Lugers dated in 1940/1941. These are the (see page 16, Third Reich Lugers):
1940 dated 42 code Approximately 23xx'y�-7000"n�
41 dated 42 code Approximately 2500"n� through the “o� block and scattered through the “p�, “q� and “r� block.
41 dated byf code. Approximately 3300"n� through the end of the “z� block and through the ns and most of the a block.

Then 41 42 code production was based on the portion of the three codes of Lugers in the “n� and “o� blocks and the sparse scattered production of 41 42 code lugers across the “p�, “q� and “r� block.

There were only 20,000 lugers produced in the “n� and “o� blocks. If the 41 42code Luger production is increased in the “n� and “o� blocks, the 1940 42 code and 41 byf code will have to be proportionally decreased. I suspect that the production estimate of 20,000 41 42 code Lugers, ignored the overlap in serial ranges and simply assigned all the “n� and “o� production to the 41 42 code.
