New to Lugers

After wanting one for many years I recently purchased my very first Luger and was wondering about the value. In other words did I do good? Haha

I wanted a shooter and came across this pistol. It is a 42 byf. All numbers match except for the rear toggle pin. The grips appear to be the real bakelite as they passed the hot pin test. The magazine in the photo is not the correct one for the gun from what I understand. With the bakelite grips I was told it should have the bakelite based magazine. I do have a bakelite base magazine coming. Overall the pistol is in very good condition.

I am really looking forward to learning more about these fantastic pistols from you all and may start looking for a numbers matching pistol in the near future.

Now I want a WW1 Luger as well.
