Brickboy240, I have a suggestion: Send the gun to Thor and have him restore to it's original condition. He can install the proper style grips on it, and he will rust blue, restraw and fire blue it back to what it once was--an Imperial era Luger that many folks consider to be the best Lugers ever made. Forget all that Russian rework stuff--this gun needs to be taken back to what it once was. My first Luger is a 1917 Erfurt P.08, and it looked like a doorstop when I bought it. After Thor restored it, I didn't even know it was the same gun. Since your gun shoots well and has matching numbers--I think you would be extremely pleased with it restored. The cost of the restoration would be offset by the great low price you paid for it. Then you would have a true piece of history for your collection.
