If someone purchases a 98% luger with everything matching including 2 matching mags. they need to play the lottery. They either got extremely lucky or possibly taken. Guess which the odds favor? What I find interesting is 40 years ago I seen very few 98% lugers with matching mags. And this was when lugers were quite plentiful. Now these are more numerous than back then. I wonder why? I personally collect lugers as much for the history as anything else. I want and expect them to be used. A while ago Tac foley made a statement that I really liked. He said " History and what it does to an object is an irreplaceable part of the object. Bingo! Bill
