I forgot to say, before, that this old prize fighter of a pistol--with broken nose and cauliflower ear--ought not to be shot, simply in consideration of preserving its serial numbered parts and the value of the investment it would represent. There is a need to scratch the Luger Itch, so you now also seek a shooter rather than create one from this by shooting or refinishing...and then... you'll need a really pretty, collectible one!
