Thanks for the comments
I wasn't aware that even the grips are numbered to the pistol. Before picking it up I'll have to bring along a screwdriver and check.
A Luger has always been at the top of my "things I don't need but want anyway" list. Having now collected a fair assortment of USGI 1911's I decided it was time to diversify a little. The sheer number of variations, and the proliferation of counterfeits had kept me well clear however. I chose the one I did because it is a late-production vanilla example, so it's relatively unlikely to have been professionally faked. The bluing is about 80%, thin only on the front strap, muzzle, and sideplate.
