Russian capture with Simson Toggle

Shooter, well not to me. I bough a 1906 Navy from a well know collector here just before he passed away.. The 1906 Navy is completely matching except for the correct Navy toggle train, just a few numbers off. Maybe as a collectable, it would not be considered as such, and looked upon as a shooter. But this is one 1906 Navy I'll never shoot.. I had Don Voight build me a FrankenLuger 6" Navy with Navy sights. Looks great, shoots even better. I've always wondered if a older or desirable Luger that would if all matching would sell in the $5,000 range, were to have one mismatched part, say sideplate, were would that fall in the world of collectability? Would finding a correctly numbered sideplate bring to back to matching, even though the same number sideplate was not original to the Luger? Sitting here with a cup of tea catching up on the post.
