WhereÃ?Â´s the Luger? (dumb question #1)

Ronin, I own a lugar with a 1936 s/42 frame and 1942 Byf cannon. The serial number on the frame is the governing number that is used for ID and registation purposes. What is interesting about this gun is that the 2 digit part numbers all match to either the frame or the cannon. This gun is made from one complete half of another gun. The guy that I bought it from said that he thought that it was "slapped" together during the war in a desperate attempt to get more weapons out into the field. Who Knows! All I know is that it is still considered a "shooter" and I love it. It's kind-of-nice having the 2 different years combined together. I like the looks of the strawed parts on the 1936 frame and the cannon is in excellent condition. I'm also amazed that for a gun which has never been reblued, both halves match very well.
