Sources for matching parts?

Edward Tinker · 08-25-2004, 08:22 AM

I agree with true matching guns, BUT, in the luger field the exact orginal parts is a big deal, in other pistol collecting field it is not as frowned upon. I am not saying it is not frowned upon, but in Colt collecting, SSA, 1911, in old Winchesters, etc., if a part gets replaced it is simply replaced. I think, mainly because it is hard to prove, luger parts are numbered.

And there must be a lot of "collectors" who want to replace their parts, cuz e-bay sure is a hot-spot for unnumbered parts, and also numbered parts...
