Welcome to the Luger Forum! Nice example of a 1940-42.
Your Luger would have been issued two aluminum based magazines serial numbered to the gun. Your black plastic magazine would be a replacement.
It is possible that a small number of 1940-42 Luger were issued with black plastic grips but most had wood grips. No way of knowing what type of grips it left the Mauser factory with, but the fact that it almost straight from the vet helps its originality.
