Commercial 1920 questions

I've been wanting to get a Luger for some time and finally found one at a local shop, I bought the Luger Tips book to try and make a half way intelligent decision and think I did O.K. It's the most common 1920 Commercial variety with about 95% original bluing but the mag has a serial numbered metal base that is according to the book the wrong type, are the wooden base type mags hard to find? is there a way to I.D. what type of Luger would go with the metal based mag? I paid $485 + tax which in Central Washington seemed decent since even the brown junkers are $400 at the shows around here (when you can find them). Serial number 3815 matched on all the parts I could find except mag. Is there a way to figure production date from this number? Thank you for any information.
