This is the trick isn't it...

Lugers that are military numbered are easier to spot as non-matching, yet many gov'ts only numbered major parts, the 1911A1 is a good example, most parts were not numbered.

Add into the equation that lugers were made for 60+ years, by 4 or 5 manufacturers and you have to look at how each number looks to another number, plus any proofs from other manufacturers.

Not an easy hobby.
