A bit beat ole gal, but like you said all matching including mag.

Built in 1911 by the gov't arsenal, it later received the 1920 gov't reichswehr property stamping. At some point it went into police service, and was issued to the Schutzpolizei (dang, can't rmember, Wiesbaden I think), Don Maus' new book would have it in it.

Then in the mid 1930's it received a police sear and magazine safety; the mag safety was removed a few years later (or made inoperable). The matching magazine is the later aluminum type, it would have originally been issued with a wood based mag bottom.
