It is a nice rig. I was particularly impressed with the condition, the holster, matching mags and the history. I was going to post a note advising against shooting it much but then noticed Ted's observation about the rear sight notch. When someone files away part of a Luger it will always detract from the collector value. Since it can't be put back to 'factory' condition I can't see any problem with shooting it as much as one would like. I guess it poses a good question, though. Which has more collector value, a filed site or a correct but mismatched (or unnumbered) rear toggle?
