Like David, I'd recommend that you purchase a second "Shooter" grade Luger. You'll find them listed here occasionally. You'd lose the value of a "shooter" and the history of an all matching pistol if you broke the one you inherited. It's just not worth the risk to me.
They are a lot of fun to shoot. Check periodically with Tom Heller and watch the for sale section here.
BTW, your relative's life experience is one of the best reasons for separating your perception of a country's government from it's individual people.
