Please Help Me Evaluate A P08 Luger Pistol

I would not call the magazine a "forced" match, it is entirely correct for a reworked police pistol- it even has the "dove/o" police acceptance. It is not the "original" magazine- but then the pistol has been through a complete "police" overhaul!

I agree, but somehow still tend to value original (OEM) WW1 parts over the later substituted police parts. Otherwise we could take it to the extreme and boast that a Luger bears "original Russian capture rework numbering".
Just my $.02
