Thanks a lot, gentlemen

It just happens that I live in Brazil, and I don't know (at this moment) how to import an used weapon. I will have to ask some friends at the shooting range (I'm a bowman, and there is a dedicated area for archery in it).

Brazilian regulations are not as stringent as some people thinks - one can have a ,45 weapon, for instance, but one has to go trough miles of red tape.

My first option would be to search locally for a shooter that could be rebuilt (I know a nice fellow that has a collector's 7.65 Luger and is a quite decent gunsmith).

That's why of my question - how to recognize a Luger that could be rebuilt? What to avoid?

I have already ordered the book "Parabellum" Automatic Pistol: Its Construction".

Thanks again,

Jorge
