Should I buy this 1941 byf

I have a chance to acquire my second Luger (you said once you start, to cannot stop)....a 1941 byf P08. The gun is a numbers matching piece except the mag which is a blue, alu. bottom. Bore is very good. Pictures are below. Is the gun correct as to proofs by SN for 1941 production? Since the SN is 1145y, I assume it was built towards the end of production for that year. Since it is a war year, I assume that a ton were made so this one is not rare. Are the wood grips correct....I have seen some 1941s with black grips. What mag should I have for this? What is this mag from? What would this P08 be worth? Any help you could give would be appreciated! I sure do like the forum....I read it every day. You do a great job with it! Thanks!
