side plate needed

Hi

I'm looking for a stamped side plate with the number "66" on the side. Have #"58" to trade or buy outright. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Leigh,

There are two concerns with what it appears you are proposing. Firstly the replacement of a non-original part with yet another non-original part that appears to match will not result in an all original, and matched, Luger. Rather it will result in a faked pistol.

There are also safety and functional issues here. There was a lot of hand fitting done with Lugers and replacing any part of the trigger-sear linkage may result in a pistol that refuses to fire, or fires suddenly and unexpectedly.

Best regards,

Kyrie

Johnnie, Original PO8 side plate seem to be the most difficult item for me to find and keep in stock. Right now I only have #82 & #96 late production Mausers in stock, plus several commerically numbered DWM and new repros. My only source of originals is parting out whole mismatched pistols. I'd also be a quanity buyer of unrenumbered originals if any of your have unneeded spares that you would like to trade in.
