Your pistol looks right as rain to me. The last thing I would do with it is let a bunch of gun show yahoos get their paws all over it. maybe drop it on a concrete floor. NO WAY! Best way to get it screwed up I think. I have seen too many boneheads mistreat fine antique weapons. I once saw a guy who knew Lugers slip a wood bottom mag into the pistol and then slap it into the pistol with the heel of his hand like you see in the movies! Needless to say.. I immediately grabbed it away from him.

A policeman checking the firearms at the door of a gunshow I attended did that to one of my Lugers. The wood bottom split. Half of the wood bottom and the spring flew out on the floor. I politely explained to him that it was over a hundred years old, and NOT a Glock. I picked up the parts and walked away.
