I know it's a little early to ask but...!

Just got a phone call from a good friend informing me about a Luger for sale.

Price was too good to pass up so I bought it sight unseen. No worries, my friend is well versed in firearms and knows what to look for even if he isn't a luger "expert". He can't buy it due to our weird laws up here in the Great White North as he was not grandfathered for this class of pistol.

It's a s/42, 1938 dated Luger. he is saying it is at 90% plus. C/w with a 1940 dated holster (I will be checking manufacturer tonight) with loading tool. Also comes with two mags, with one mag matching the pistol.

My questions are; how much more desireable is this pistol with the matching mag? Or not much value added becuase it isn't c/w two matching mags? Also, I see the term "matching rig" bandied about when a pistol like this ocmes with 2 mags and a holster dated the same year. Does the holster need to be dated the same year, or are these dates close enough? Is it a lot more desireable that pistol and holster have the same date?

I will try to get to the shop to take pics, as I wont be able to take possession of this for another month at least due the the gov't paperwork.

Thanks in advance,

Alamar
