Weasel...The pistol may not even function without the right sideplate. These are awfully finicky. It's my belief they were hand fitted. The thing you have to ask yourself...Can I sell this pistol for what I have in it? The mismatched sideplate is a big problem. ANY mismatched part is a problem but a sideplate is THE biggest.
Even if you did find a correctly #rd plate..it may not fit.
One matching mag is a BIG plus but a mismatched sideplate trumps that.

I would ask this dealer to ask the old timer if he had any other Lugers? Perhaps he gave or sold another and had mixed up the sideplates? Might be a longshot but I would want to hear what the old Vet has to say....
