New Boy w/questions

And some more. The last of this group show a couple of the problem areas...around the end of the barrel and some damage to the finish on the barrel itself. Obviously not a perfect gun.

Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

Since posting last I have sent this gun off to Simpson Ltd. for appraisal and they have confirmed its authenticity and rarity. I'm not trying to circumvent any Forum rules here but...what's the best way to try to find this valuable Luger a new home? I would be happy to post a scan of the appraisal if that would help.

I have bought and sold a number of more "ordinary" handguns over the years but always on a face-to-face basis with the seller/purchaser. This Luger seems like it needs a home with someone who will really be able to appreciate it. Again, not trying to break any rules....just looking for advice. Thanks!
