Your gun with its unique peep sight indicates that it was formerly owned by someone that liked to shoot. There is no telling how many rounds have been through the gun. It is probable that it is experiencing some metal fatigue. I suspect that it could endure considerable more shooting, but at some point spontaneous disassembly is going to happen (its gonna break). I think I would enjoy it as a neat example of a unique American Eagle and get another shooter Luger to satisfy your urge to burn lots of powder. It probably won't hurt to take the old fellow out once a year, like on your birthday to celebrate, run a magazine full thorugh it, clean it and put it away until next year.
Thank you for your most interesting posts and sharing your snazzy AE with us.
Ron
