Collectors List

Interesting to me is the fact that no reference is made to "matching" or "non-matching". This supports my contention that this became a major issue with the publishing of Fred Datig's book "The Luger Pistol". Of course, Datig was merely pointing out how to distinguish Lugers that were assembled from piles of parts and slammed togeather. I doubt that he or anyone else back then would have dreamed that a replaced hold open device would banish a great piece from colectable status, at least in some circles.
