Lugers with mismatched magazines but all other parts matching have not been tampered with. Mismatched parts other than the magazine indicate the pistol has been tampered with. Perhaps it represents only a field repair, but it can just as easily be the result of clumsy amateur experimentation. It seems to me that all the owners of mismatched Lugers are coming out of the woodwork to defend what may be their not so desireable specimens. Kind of like defending one's wife even though you know in your heart she is really third rate.
