Dwight,

Thank you for giving a great history to this post WW2 in service Luger. True, it is not matching in the true since of the word, but it was truly a 'in service' issued post WW2 era Luger reworked by some offical armory and forced matched. I take any WW2 era or pre WW2 era Luger that had parts replaced by an armory, then numbered to match would be thought of as a correctly matching Luger only done with new or left over unmarked parts vs marked parts from used Lugers installed and rather 'crudely' marked to match. Thanks again for pointing out the many details on this era of Lugers.

Then again, replacing a couple of parts on an otherwise matching Luger is not what maybe these post WW2 reworked Lugers are. Many look to be built from just a bunch of disassambled Luger parts lumped together and matched with maybe no real starting point outside the bare frame.
