May be difficult to see from the pictures, but the whole upper part is plum.

..personaly I think the colour looks nice

First I would like to say... I had typed out about 2 or 3 long paragraphs and my internet failed..........great! I will do my best to reconstruct what I wrote..

Morgon nice Luger, the single digit serial number is really cool! The plum tone never bothered me, I kinda like it. But I got it confused with "strawing", so I was worried the ejector bar was not original with my new Luger.

I have a couple more questions, sadly my knowledge of Lugers is not nearly as good as it should be.. its about 12:30am on a school night... so I will do this fast.

1. I noticed this black widow has a serialized safetly lever, I was not aware that these were stamped with a serial #, I was wondering if there is a list of parts that were serialized during the third reich era. if someone could send me a link or something that would be great.

2. I was wondering if anyone knows wether or not the mag pictured is post war? I think the base is post war, but I could be wrong... also are there any other links to info about lugers becides this forum/site? I would be interested in reading about luger magazines, what manufactures made plastic base, aluminum base etc.. I really don't know a whole lot about them.

I might have to buy a book if there are no other good links, so a recomendation would be good too! thanks for the help.
