Thanks for that picture! If you don't mind, I think I can find good use for it myself...

I agree with the others. Use the ugly duckling for practice, shooting, study, etc. Don't be afraid to buy old/used/rusty/cheap parts for dissection [grips, barrels, springs] as you can sometimes find you need an old part for experimentation...

Also, detail strip and clean/scrub your Luger. Things that look clean [firing pin guide/spring; safety lever; sear spring/plunger] can be so gunked up with hard caked crud that they don't operate correctly and can cause unresolvable problems (with out cleaning/freeing). Been there, done that...
