I dont know what others think, but due to the fact on how most Lugers were captured, and they were separated from their mags, I consider a Luger to have all "original" (that part is tough to be 100% sure of) parts a matching original Luger. MOST Lugers dont have matching mags so I think a matching mag is viewed from my perspective as icying on the cake. A very nice addition. Matching mags are a whole study in themselves because SO MANY have been reground and renumbered. A consider a Luger that is all matching original as a real COLLECTION find but it needs to be accompanied by a matching "TYPE" magazine. If the mag matches serial numbers so much the better, but this is very rare and COSTS more so it is viewed from my perspective with a lot of suspicion. Thor
