Sources for matching parts?

To me matching should be ALL original parts! I think "Matched" non-original but right numbers is just as bad as any other fakes because at some point down the road it will be passed of as "all original". There is always exception to this though, if the Germans replaced the parts during whatever era it was in or a later police/military rework would still hold historical value. Now with that said I would conceder the Luger you have now to be more "authentic" the way it is now simply because the less these guns are chanced the more "original they are. Please do not be offended by anything I have said because I'm just expressing my opinion on this matter. Ultimately the value of what you have is what it means to you.
