Hello all,
I picked up a late BYF 43 and all serial numbers matching along with parts being stamped with the 135. The gun has a stamped trigger guard and floor plate, but I can not find a code or S/N on the follower.

Is this correct? I also looked at a BYF 44 that is a known original that a friend has just to compare and it is the same way?
thanks for the assistance.

I have a matching "f" block byf 43. The follower has no markings except a "o" on the bottom.

I'll have to check for you when I get home to see if there's anything on the follower...
