What I hope to be a most happy day tomorrow

. Heard of a Luger for sale today( private partyy) and quickly checked it out just about 30 min. ago. Funny thing, I live in the country and this fellow lived less that a half mile of my house. Back to my find, nothing rare but it looks great to me, pictures tomorrow after I pick it up. Details it's a 1915 DWM all matching including the mag. I'd say 90%+ on the finish, mirror bore, grips feel a 'little' loose with a very small chip mising below the safety. The s/n is 6922-d.The cost, $1,200, I feel that is a good buy. Any info on production figures and the like? This owner had it for around 25 years. My one disapointment was I hoped it would be unit marked and it's not.I take to some that is a plus. Thanks for any info. Pictures tomorrow

MMM?? some mag questions. I just did some forum research. I take for the mag to be matching it 'must' have all four digits of the S/N. As I looked over this 1915 the grips looked on the darker side(oiled?) and the wood mag bottom matched the grip color. My question is that I am quite sure the mag was only marked with 22 and a imperial looking proof mark stamped below the 22. Might this be a forced match mag? or are there exceptions to the all four digit rule?
