I made my account after my first luger. What I thought was a byf mauser mostly matching Luger. This was 100% wrong. It wasn't a byf or a "mostly matching Luger". This goes to show you, make sure you know what your interested in buying.

When I say "Mostlymatching", I mean a Luger that has most original parts. Not just some random P08 with a part of every luger from history. I am by no way an expert, but if a luger has, say an unmatching extractor block and maybe a hold open, it is considered a "shooter". If this is your first Luger I'd suggest a shooter for sure. Say you buy an all matching luger and that's all you have, if you get the urge to shoot it, you probally will.
And to answer your question about parts that should match, I would say yes. IMO i would want a matching barrel, frame and upper. Then most of the stamped parts to match. I would suggest getting a second opinion though. Good luck.
