If you leave it as it is, and while you are shooting and enjoying it, if it were to get a scratch or ding, no one is heart broken!! These old Lugers are awesome shooters, and scary accurate.

10-4 on the dents and scratches!
I worked on it all morning, spraying down with cleaner and brushing. Then I used Flitz polish with my dremel and cleaned up all surface rust I could get off. Looks much better! Couldn't believe how much crud was packed in all the crevises. Had to use my dental pick just to get it all cleaned out. Sprayed it down with Balistol. Its made in Germany and is very lubricating in my belief.
Now when the rain stops, she's gonna do a bunch of shooting!
I really enjoy these guns! They are so cool!
Thanks for the input!
