I work in a factory and even with inspectors, occasional errors still get through, so it is no surprise to me to see a numbered part one digit off.
This has been an interesting thread. Without a personal inspection, I can see how difficult it would be to really verify the "correctness" of serial numbers.
I've bought a few Lugers via auctions and although the outside numbers may match, I don't know about the rest of the Luger until I receive it.
