Well, hopefully this guy isn't a member, but if so, maybe he can learn something:

<blockquote>quote:<hr />ALL MATCHING NUMBERS (serial number is 2676, with 76 on most parts) <hr /></blockquote>Okay, all matching in caps and then says MOST.

Also this;
<blockquote>quote:<hr />actually a RARE wartime ARTILLERY Luger that was modified per Post-Versailles mandate to the new standard size ( hence the mismatched number on the toggle, as it needed one with a rear sight)with no date on the receiver.<hr /></blockquote>From everything I have read, a toggle wasn't just forced onto the gun, but was arsenal numbered, not a mismatched toggle placed onto it.

Anything else you guys see wrong?

Now, in my opinion, it isn't a BAD price, high for a "shooter" but those grips, hmmmmm.
