How Badly did I get taken? PIX Added

Thanks for the reply, and lack of flame. Books are a better buy, but money doesn't burn a hole in your pocket for books.....

In the last 4 hours I have read a bit of this forum and viewed Johhn Dunkle's 1916 Imperial DWM photos in the gallery, very very nice piece.

Question on operation:
When I pull up the toggle and **** the "bolt hammer" it will stay in this position without returning to the closed-locked position on it's own. I can easily push it down, and when I fully retract and release it locks home fine.

Also, is it safe to fire without the hold open installed?

I spent some time searching for the hammer, it took a while to figure out the Luger is quite different from most pistols I have taken apart. :-)

The finish is very good, probably all reblued. I think the proofs should be after blue originally?

9911 on side of receiver and 9911 with a cursive lower case g under it.

Differences I have to John's pistol:

Black Plastic grips
No Hold Open - groove machined for it but it's not there, should have it I think
Reblued barrel inside and out
Rebarreled - no alignment mark on barrel, only receiver
Wooden mag with 9911 scribed on edge - some stamp mark on wood
Ejector says NbnEHb - Russian characters?
Bolt is 93
top toggle assembly is 70 not 71
4 correct proofs on receiver as shown on this forum for DWM
All other parts 11

I will take some pictures and post

Seems like a mixed -redone 1916 Luger, Bore is good but blued, action seems fine.
