Frankenstein Luger

Curious....Been reading the thread on strawing, putting back original finish, etc.

What would it take to piece together a luger (besides finding all the parts people may have) and putting together a shooter? Do you have to find parts within a tolerance to match up in order for it to be a decent shooter? If so which parts specifically. (has anyone ever done this?)

Also I noticed a lugerman site where it looks like for under a grand you can get either a Frankenstein or a matching/mismatched shooter returned to what looks like pristine condition. Does that increase the value of your 'shooter' to where it would normally have been if found in the same condition? Does he mark so that people can't pass off as unrefinished or does that matter when it's done so well?

I know lots of questions, but new to luger collecting. Lots of info to absorb.
