Hi,

Non-matching magazine is no problem. Dutch magazines were not matched to the gun and usually totally unnumbered.

The barrel date only appears on arsenal rebarreled/refurbished Dutch lugers. The original, unmodified, barrels retain their normal DWM commercial style numbering (serial number and crown N) or Vickers style proofing.

Not too good finishing is standard for a Dutch luger and I wouldn't mess with it. It's part of the history and totally correct for a Dutch.

The pictures don't seem to display for me. Anything happened to them?
