Test firing my 1937 S/42

On my matching number "42" 1939, which I shoot fairly regularly, I've replaced the numbered:

1. Firing pin
2. Holdback
3. Extractor
4. Breechblock

Somewhere around $200 in parts. I did not replace the matching-number toggle links, so there's risk there.

I don't think the ejector is serialized. Wasn't on my 1939.

IMO, shooter-grade Lugers are much more uncommon than matching-numbers Lugers. Perhaps a lot of forced-matching going on?
