mrerick,
Thanks - kinda reinforced what I was thinking. Haven't shot the "G" date in about 20yrs, and will put it in "preservation" condition. Have lots of friend who always wanted to shoot it, and I always hesitated. Now I've got something we can truly enjoy with care.
Always enjoyed shooting P08's, so glad I have one to use judiciously. I handload, so will make up some good low-power plinkers.
I'll probably replace the grips and do a complete cleaning and re-lubing of the DWM. Obviously, will save all original parts. Might be consulting this site if I find anything in questionable condition for a replacement.
Since Lugers have such varied collectability, I feel confident in the $600 price. Buying from a friend, and don't want to cheat him by buying something that might have been very valuable (but unknown to either of us).
Great to have sites w/dedicated afficianados.
Mike
