Amigo, It's definately unusual to find consecutive serial numbers on a mismatched PO8. One might come to the conculsion that this was a factory error, but probably more of a coincidence. I don't currently have any original unnumbered wood bottomed mags to spare, but do have new producton SS wood bottomed mags available @$30. Lugerdoc

Take a 10X magnifier and examine the last number of the serials in a bright light, preferably sunlight. You may find that the 5 is actually a 6 or the 6 is actually a 5.

AND HERE YOU CAN SEE THERE IS 55 AND 8755 i IN THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE FRAME,AND IN THE TRIGGER TOO!
IF I'M RIGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD OR BAD FOR THE VALUE OF THE GUN?

Welcome to the Lugerforum.

The finish on your Luger looks pretty shallow in your photos. IF ANY of the parts are different serial numbers, then the gun is Non-matching and that places the gun in the shooter class, and not a collectible. I would estimate it's value between $450-600 in the condition shown.

Buy the magazine that Tom is offering. It should serve you well.

Enjoy shooting it... Winchester white-box bulk ammo 115 gr. sometimes sold at Walmart, it pretty reliable in these guns. Just make sure you lubricate the working parts.
