Default "Hanger Queen" but still a Luger

Hello everybody, I'm new to the LugerForum and didn't know it existed until last night. I, like most War Babies, have always wanted a Luger. A couple of months ago, a local newspaper had one advertised and I jumped at the opportunity to get it.

The story goes that it was found in an attic during an estate sale somewhere in Michigan. The guy was asking $500 but I got it for $400. I knew it was in bad condition (see pictures) but hey....it was a real Luger !!

It wasn't until I got home that I realized the receiver would not
retract all the way and that a bullet was still chambered. I took it to a gunsmith hoping he could fix it but after a couple of months of soaking it he says that the firing pin is still frozen, and the bullet is still in the chamber.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what can be done ?
