Giving a thumbs up.
I know ya'll don't know me. I'm not an expert on Luger's by any stretch. I own only one. However I do collect far to many C&R rifles. The pictures of it were posted on the new member's forum. It's an all matching, except the magazine, 1915 DWM. I shot it one time. On the very first pull of the trigger the back of the breech block broke where it held the spring guide in place. The metal just snapped off. It looked almost crystalline at the fracture.
Anyway since it's all matching I went searching for a gunsmith to mend the broken part. I found one who answered his phone (very rare thing I find anymore for a business to answer the phone), was willing to talk to me and be polite As if that wasn't enough he actually sounded knowledgeable.

He received the toggle assembly from me on a Monday morning. He called me that day. We spoke about what needed done. Tuesday (the NEXT day) he called me saying the part was ready to go. I sent him a check and Thursday of the next week the part was back.
I know where the part was broken and I have to look very hard to see where the repair starts. My Charles said the metal appeared to have been over hardened during manufacture and that the welding had drawn down some of the temper which should increase the working strength of the breech.
Anyway the part looks great, the price was extremely reasonable, the service and speed of service was awesome.
