Peening

The wear doesn't look particularly extensive. Doug's tip about lubricating the interface certainly can't hurt.

Talk about peening! I had a 90s Stainless Luger for a while. When it arrived, there was enough metal displaced in the same area to present a "lip" that had been upset towards the inside of the frame. A few licks of a file took it back down to flush.
