Question about black widow Lugers and wooden grip guns

"The one thing that does make bakelite grips and magazine bases useful is that they are not numbered (except for the magazines of the Ku pistols). That means that you can suddenly have a "matching" Luger by replacing wood grips and aluminum based magazines with the Bakelite variety. That is why these parts are expensive."

That's one of the reasons, the other, unfortunately, is the "Nazi Mystique" that the black color evokes.
