Don't let these folks discourage you. Yes, you didn't get a terrific deal, but overall it isn't all that bad. I do not have a problem with mis-matched magazines. A matched magazine is by far more the exception than the rule. However, you really should consider swapping the WWII aluminum bottomed magazines for proper WWI wooden bottom examples.
If the extractor is the only mis-matched part, it is a bit of a downer but considering the escalation of Luger prices, it won't take long for the market to catch up with your purchase price. You won't hurt the value by shooting it and if you do shoot it, that Schmeisser mag functions very well.
