Thanks for the reply. I hadn't yet diagnosed the problem so I appreciate your help. I downloaded an e-book on the Luger so I would know how to disassemble it for cleaning, etc., as well as getting some other good info.
The side plate does match the top, incidentally; the only other part I have found that does not match (except the frame) is the "takedown lever" (if that is the correct terminology) and it matches the number on the frame. While it would be nice to have an all-matching gun, this one was within my price range and appears to be in pretty good condition.
Thanks also for the comments on the photos; I tried to get the markings to show up.
I appreciate all the help,
Ken
