Hi Tom,
The way you acquired yours is the best way, but seldom found these days. Mine came from the Tom Knox collection. In reference to the gun that "Lugers down under" is looking at, there should be some history on it, and someone should know something about it. A complete K-date Navy with 2 matching magazines just doesn't stay hidden with no one remembering it, unless it was like your Luger and a vet still had it. I know of only 2 K-date Lugers with 2 matching magazines, yours makes 3, and I remember who has them and roughly what the serial numbers are, and other collectors remember these things also. Anyway, if the above rig is correct it is a real find. -- Bill
