Doubs, not to beat this thing to death but I was using info from one of the old masters, Fred Datig, with some bull thrown in. If you have his book, see page 15. He calculates that 12 to 15 lugers exist using the same serial number and suffix. I figured in combat losses, just plain wear, damage, etc. that would reduce this number even further, by how much I have no idea, maybe five or six remaining with the same exact number, located somewhere in the world in the hands of whoever, or in a box. I figure that finding a matching mag is such a rareity that I won't have to even consider it. Disregarding the suffixes, he figures 250-300 identical numbers exist. Whatever, it has made for an interesting exchange.
