Convex ended pins were adopted late in the war (about 1944) and continued in post-war production. The black based magazine looks original to me, but not of course, original to the gun.

Hi Mikew, I'm in with Don Voigt in that the finish looks original, as do the grips and magazines, bottom and all... The retaining pin on the Bakelite bottom is a police or commercial type and although correct, uncommon... I'd leave, and love that Luger just as it is... and enjoy it as such! Best to you, til...lat'r...GT
