Aakk!!! Need help from the experten!!!

Hi all,

Yes, I'm shouting. Here's why.

Just got back from my local gun emporium where they had the following:

Luger S/42 1939
Serial 6416k (I think it's a k)
All correct proofs, waffenamts
1 matching mag, black tube, aluminum bottom
1 not matching mag, same as above
Holster dated 1939
Marked tool

Gun, holster, tool, 2 mags in excellent shape, I'd say 98% for the gun (good bore, looks unused). Story is it is a bring back from a guy moving into a retirement community.

They want $1750.00

Here's the catch: All matching EXCEPT the sideplate! AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!

The gun is 6416k, the sideplate is 92.

Would you buy it? What are the odds that I can find a 16-marked sideplate to complete it? Anybody got a "spare" 16-marked sideplate they want to sell?

Need some advice guys! I've wanted an S/42 code for a long tiime. Thanks for looking.
