Hello to all,

It has been some time since I last posted here because of other obligations, but it is good to be back! Anyway I wanted to get some opinions on the Luger I just purchased. It doesn't match, but then again it does....I know what your thinking, but bear with me.

The main components of the gun when broke down all match themselves, for example....

-The lower reciever all #'s match frame, trigger,grips, takedown lug, holdopen latch etc. have the #26 stamped on them (Erfurt?)

-The bolt all pieces have the #99 on them (Erfurt)

-The upper reciever parts are all correct for its self also (K-date)

Does anyone think it is possible that this is how it came back from the war, or is it likley someone just got lucky find these components in this state? I have heard rumors when these weapons were captured they were broke down into main components and thrown into a pile to be be hastily cleaned for storage, and then reassembled. I don't know how water tight this myth is or not, but Usually when I see a none matching firearm, it is usaully all none matching all over the weapon. (Does that last sentence make sense?)

I also have a holster I haven't been able to identify yet too. It appears to be from Luger era, but have had no good replies on were it came from . I will post pics later if anyone is interested in helping.
