My new to me 1938 Luger.

Leave it alone, shoot it if you want to-it has been shot a good bit already.
I see nothing but normal wear; no prep or anything of the sort. The "polished" ramps are just from firing.

If you are afraid to shoot it, do as suggested already - buy a shooter- instead of spending money for spare parts for this one. JMHO.

Re-bluing a luger is usually a bad thing, you can spend $200 or $1000 on it and have a refinished pistol that is worth what you paid for it or less- depending on the quality of the finish job.
Again JMHO.
