Mismatched Military Luger Question(s)

[Mike Fitz]

Hi Everybody, <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
I have a question (actually a bunch of questions) about mismatched military (mainly Third Reich era) Lugers.
Are mismatched combinations, such as a 1939 or 1940 Code 42 with a byf complete toggle assembly frequently found?
By complete toggle assemblys I mean extractor, center toggle link, rear toggle link, breech block, firing pin and all related springs and pins etc and parts with numbers all matching.
I'm just using the Code 42 / byf as an example. Any other configurations also K dates, G dates, Mauser Banners, S/42's in any combination or variation?
Was it possible to interchange these parts with different Mauser models.
How about interchangability of parts between Mausers, Kreighoff's, Simsons, Erfurts and DWM's?
Being an Armorer in the Wermacht must have been a nightmare! <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />
Speaking of Armorers, I saw mention made in another posting about Armorer's Kits. Did they carry parts for all the different variations? Barrels, Toggles, side plates, firing pins, grips, magazines,springs, pins etc., etc., etc.
How were replacement parts marked? Were parts that would normally be marked serial numbered? Would the armorer interchange parts from a pile of damaged guns?
What was the main cause of these mismatched Lugers?
I learned while collecting WW2 1911A1's that it is not uncommon to find a Colt frame with a Remington Rand slide or a Remington Rand frame with a Union Switch & Signal slide and an Ithaca mainspring housing and thats just the mismatched visible parts.
Sorry for the 101 questions.
I just ordered Jan Stills book on Third Reich Lugers but don't know if any of these questions will be answered in it.
As always thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my numerous questions.
Mike
