Many thanks David / Ithacaartist, for your post above- quote here below:
"You may recall an occasional post about guns with mixed grip frame and upper assembly, where the shorter receiver from a later gun has been cobbled together with an older, long frame--or the other way 'round. The result is that the receiver is either proud of the frame by a noticeable bit, or tucked back into it the same amount, both of which look pretty goofy."
I would be very interested in seeing a side by side comparison of a mixed grip frame and upper assembly, versus an authentic, "normal" pistol. Lookg a t a photo of a given gun- I would not be able to tell whether it is a mixed bag or a matching gun. When viewing online photos of Lugers for possible purchase, I would like to discern the two. On the other hand, I would greatly prefer to buy from forum members....
