BigNorm,The take down lever has the number 95 like the rest of the gun.To the naked eye the side plate overstamp is hardly visible.It looks like a smudge unless it is magnified.In the book LUGER VARIATIONS by Harry Jones page 143 and Charles Kenyon LUGERS at RANDOM page 176. Both books say refinished and refurbished,with new and used parts.To me it may very well be a part of the guns history.One thing I do not understand is why alot of luger collectors do not think a mismatched clip is a big deal.It is such an integral part of the gun.It is also a key component in how a gun functions.I would think soldiers would take care in keeping all the parts together. To me if the clip does not match the gun ,it is a mismatch.Mine does not match.This is another thread for discussing.The most important thing about the gun is that I like it right or wrong.Thanks again for all the information.Tim
