1917 with million dollar chip

Some folks are real picky about matching numbers and will turn up their nose at mis-matched grips. As for me, I couldn't care less. Three parts that do not bother me at all if they do not match are grips, firing pin and hold open. These guns were working guns and saw combat. Parts fail and are replaced, with these three parts being particularly subject to the hardships of use. Given that the rest of the Luger is matching and in nice original condition I will not deduct from the value for any or all of these parts not matching, nor am I willing to pay an exorbitant premium if they do match.
