Thank you, lugers are new to me. I have nambu type 14s and rem rand 1911s and others but wanted to get into the lugers. Could'nt pass this one up. A taurus pt1911 and a beretta 92fs and it's all mine Not to bad of a trade. There is just a few freckles here and there in the bore, the lands and groves are very shapr and there is good shine in there too, considering the ammo and conditions all old firearms went through. I took it all apart, it was'nt cocking and the arm that latches on to the spring assembly was'nt connected so the guy at the pawn store said it was junk, did'nt work. I had a hunch it was something internal. Just like any FN 1922 i've bought usually firing pin tip is broke or the pin follower is a nail modified to work. Seems these striker fired pistols all suffer from some similar problem with firing pins and followers at times. I'll get better pictures of it the grips on the inside are numbered and the mag bottom too, to the pistol. I do have one wood bottomed mag that does not match but is WWI vintage if someone would be looking for a mag for their WWI Luger. I have some aftermarkets I'll use for shooting keep the original in good shape and the extra one if someone needed one would help them out.
