Impact of mismatches on value?
 
Hi,
I have Mauser 1937 s/42 straw P-08 Luger in 9mm. That's probably a bit redundant but, I'm new. This pistol has all matching frame, barrel, and side plate. The toggle, including extractor and rear of sight, are all matching serial numbers from a different gun. The magazine is not serialized to the gun. I am wondering what percentage impact the mismatch has on the value of an otherwise mid 90's percent gun?
Thanks,
bob

Unfortunately that little detail will place your gun in the shooter catagory for sure, unless it is otherwise a rare or special model.
I recently had an extremely nice, matched early DWM lower with an extremely nice early Erfurt upper. As beautiful as it was, the mismatched issue hurt its value.
Hard to access % valuation loss, but I, with limited experience, would expect a 40% hit or so.
Might not hurt to watch for matching parts. Just may be worth your time.

This page has a refined definition of gun condition based on NRA.

In this system, if this particular Luger works fine, it can be rated as "GOOD" (because of major replacement of parts).

I was just glancing at thread titles and somehow read this one as "Impact of mustaches on value"...
Maybe it's time to get glasses.
