42/1939s....Is this a coincidence?

I believe that all Mauser built Lugers, started life with a main toggle pin numbered to the pistol. If they were worn, lost, etc., they were replaced with either another numbered pin (not necessarily the correct number) or a Armors unnumbered pin. Other items that were prone to damage were the grips, firing pin, extractor and ejector. All except the ejector were originally numbered to the pistol. I'm not positive about late byf42 grips, early ones were numbered. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
