OK, so s/42 are replacement parts, I guess it is just that I feel that a lot of re-numbered/patched together guns are being passed off as "armour work". Try too make something look right that isn't. I'm still out on this, and yes and thanks Dwight on the survey, I was part of it. On grip SN'ed, why would every fifth be numbered and rest un-munbered, does not make sense too me?? I have a few non police Lugers Imperial era, all have numbered grips, I would think anything less is not 100% matching/correct...then again it is what we want too buy, shoot, what ever, its just I collect with the end result being something too sale with out making excuses. I guess I am really into investing and not shooting...I once had a buyer at the Great Western show about 30 years ago walk away form one of my Lugers because it did not have a matching clip, it left an impression on me too seek out only matching guns for collecting/investing...not sure if I am right or wrong but I do love the Lugers.
