Marc..These Mauser made lugers are very high quality. Good metallurgy.

In general and mostly I agree with this BUT I have seen 2 different mausers that had cracked bolts, toggles and top cannons like they were frozen and smacked with a hammer. VERY fine cracks and lots of them. So fine they could not be seen except with good light and close inspection. These 2 examples told me the metallurgy or heat treating or both could sometimes go wrong on Mausers.

This is just an aside..of course MOST Mauser Luger's are just what Marc says..It sure was interesting to see though.

it is always a good idea to have it inspected by a competent gunsmith before firing. IF you can find one! I think in Kaliphornia they all starved to death.
