Anna, I believe that you can easily breathe new life into this fine old girl, and without spending a fortune...
Just get yourself one of the later model ERMA .22 caliber conversion kits, the kind with the full toggle knobs, not just the small toggle pegs. Operation in .22 caliber would never violate the cracked receiver with pressure that is too high.
This would make a wonderful plinking Luger in .22 caliber... and you could even have a gunsmith make you a complete .22 caliber barrel to replace the one that is in it now... this would ensure that it never gets reassembled as a 9mm and hurts someone.
Just my two cents...
