numbers matching?

Jim Mac · 02-14-2012, 09:50 PM

This got me to looking at my first luger I bought this summer. Its a 1918 DWM 9mm. I knew the side plate and take down lever is off by 1 number. Everything else is stamped 65 but those two parts, which is stamped 66. Since the guns been reblued at some point, is it worth trying to find the parts with the 65 stamped on it? Im usually not a number type person, but to think just replacing those two parts will get the numbers back to the same, but not original. Thanks. jim
