Daniel,

Thanks for the photo of the frame-front serial#, further confirmation of the matching magazine.

The mark on the (right side of the gun, I think you mean) is unfortunate, but considering the overall condition of this Luger it detracts very little--my opinion, entirely.

The holdopen malfunction is not a matter of lack of concern. It is an imponderable, there is nothing to say about it, until interior of the gun is visible. Is the holdopen broken? missing? or is there possibly some other circumstance? All will be told when it can be seen, and not considerable before.
