Hi Jeff, and welcome to the forum.

You've got a very nice Mauser made Luger. The magazine is likely period correct, even if it's not numbers matching to the gun. There were pistols issued in this timeframe with metal based magazines and wood grips. It just depended on what Mauser could acquire from suppliers.

We have a FAQ document available for free download, just follow the FAQ link at the top of every page.

Lugers made in this period at Mauser make ideal shooters. Yours is so nice, it likely would be considered collectible. You may be able to locate an original rear axle pin with the correct numbering.
