Need a little help with 1937 S/42

According to Jan Still's Third Reich Lugers, you Luger SHOULD have strawed parts as originally issued, serial range between 4500p-1500t. The magazine also is not proper as it is one that was issued from 1939-1941, a type 3 Army Magazine a term coined by Still. Your Luger would be proper with a type 2 Army-Blued tube, aluminum bottom with a single retaining pin NOT through the center of the bottom but to one side. The price you paid was commensurate with the Luger you have IMO. ~Thor~
