Remember that the Germans number matched everything once it was fitted... you will have to fit that iron to the Luger very carefully. I recommend you take the iron off the wood for the fitting process. You can blacken the iron (where it actually contacts the pistol) with the black smoke of an ordinary candle, and then attempt to carefully install it. Where ever the black is removed in the attempt to mount the pistol, is where you need to gently remove the metal until it slips on the Luger...use cold blue to touch up where you have to file/grind. If you are good with a dremel, that is the tool to use, if you are not, have a gunsmith do the fitting.

MAKE no adjustments in steel on the pistol of course...

The wood looks like european walnut to me and very nice grain at that!
