The numbers on matching magazines would not be repeated until 270,000 Lugers were manufactured. This is calculated on 10,000 Lugers in a production run using the 26 letters in the alphabet plus the 10,000 Luger magazines in the first run that had no suffix letters. There are the matching spares but they had the number '2' added, so I don't count them. Since the magazine design changed over the years, from nickel with wood bases, to blue with aluminum bases, plastic bases, different types, stamped, extruded, etc., I seriously doubt that 'several' magazines of the correct period existed. If, in fact, several magazines with exactly the same number/letter combination were made in each of the different periods of evolution then how can anyone be certain that any 'all matching' Luger does in fact have the exact magazine it was originally issued with, or did some fortunate individual locate a correct mag with the correct number for his Luger from the 'several' out there? <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
