Re: Matching parts -- My $ 0.09+ ;^)
Hi ViggoG,
I must respectfully disagree with your definition of the word â??matchingâ?? as â??denotes that all parts are of the proper type and manufactureâ??. Luger parts were numbered to a specific pistol because the Luger pre-dates fully interchangeable parts - the parts needed to be numbered. This has given Luger collectors the ability to assess whether a Luger had all original parts by examining the marking of the parts. The unscrupulous and the uninformed have used this characteristic of Luger manufacture as a cheap way to make an mismatched Luger of no collector interest or value appear to be a matched Luger with collector value.
Best regards,
Kyrie
