I thought that as well, was just scrolling through their inventory when I saw it. What are the odds I find the other matching mag lol.

I think you found a beauty. Simpson will occasionally have a deal. I got one from them many years ago. They also sold two nice Hungarian PUs several years ago not knowing they were not Russian. Two folks got real deals and I got one later at about the same cost from one of them since they wanted something else. Always stay alert and keep an open mind. Beat many bushes, the more the better.

Why is the toggle stamped different from receivers?
I'm just starting to learn about Lugers.

What do you mean, the fact that it has two digits on it?

Top view I see 1940 and then 42. Should it not be 40 as well?
Or does 42 define the manufacturer?

42 is the manufacturer code, Mauser in this case

Yes, 42 was Mauser. In 1941 they changed to byf.
