Pictures of recently inherited Luger

Thanks for all the input. Regarding the conversion kit, the barrel and magazine both have 448 stamped, while the the toggle assembly is numbered 967 (67.) Does this indicate that these parts were not together in the original kit? Also, there is a small part cavity in the kit box which has not had a matching part since I have had the kit. The only other pictures I've found of similar kits show this cavity also being empty, yet in the descriptions of the pictures, no mention is made of anything being missing from the kit. Was there originally some sort of disposable item stored there?

Also, would this gun be considered a "shooter" or a collector's piece? I've been told that both my uncle and grandfather have at times shot the gun, but I have yet to do so. Should I refrain?
