ironcross4148,

Like all Lugers... it has a beauty about its engineering that is elegant despite some mismatched or lightly rust damaged parts... I fully understand your admiration for your Luger...

A comment about the front sight... it appears in the photos that the front sight blade may also be a replacement because the tail of the rear of the blade appears to extend past the front sight base, leaving a sharp point... be careful not to catch this point on clothing as it may easily tear something. A small stone or file can remove this protrusion without any damage to the collectors value because of the mismatched parts...

She's a good ole girl who has led a hard life... love and respect her for her devotion to duty ... and she will reward you with continued service till your (or her) last day...
