Yes, I thought I did ok on the price. I checked a 2016 Blue Book that I just bought. I will feel more confident once I get some ammo and successfully fire it. I forgot to mention that when I broke it down to inspect and clean it last night, I was happy to see that it is numbers matching (except the mag) as far as I can tell.

I don't know any local smiths but I am glad to hear that replacing the lanyard loop is not a problem. Can most smiths do that work? I wonder if G.T. would do that kind of work on non-Lugers.

I found some snap caps on Amazon that I have ordered. By the way, I typed the size wrong. The size is 7,62x25.
