Help ID-ing an early luger

I suggest you make photos of the spring arrangement and post them here. A photo of the grip frame with the grips removed would also be of interest.

Definitely post the results of your range work... Lugers, even old ones with what looks like terrible bores have a reputation for being VERY accurate.

Also, Tom Heller has new reproduction flat springs. I would suggest that you buy one and replace the tired original and put it away to make sure it doesn't get broken.

Dwight brings up a good point about the 9mm conversion... Since your gun has modified extensively, I think I might consider having it further modified to use the coil mainspring...

Waiting anxiously for your next installment on this very interesting and unusual gun.
