Hi Richard, Just to be clear, I assume you are looking for an Imperial era military Luger. During this period there were two manufacturers, DWM a privately owned company, and Erfurt, a state owned arsenal. Numbering and inspection marking on DWMs was less rigid than on Erfurts, and unnumbered DWM grips are not uncommon. Erfurt however, numbered and inspected everything, including grip screws prior to !916. The photo shows a typical set of Erfurt grips. With regard to matching magazines, they are quite uncommon on military guns and most collectors are happy with a non-matching magazine that is period correct. A lot of "matching" magazines are faked, another reason to buy from a reputable source. Good luck, Norm
