The first one (Mauser) you showed is your shooter. The 1918 is really in collectible condition - can it be preserved? It would really be a shame to destroy that original barrel 1918.
PS> I think the 4" restriction came from an intent to dis-allow the more concealable short barrel pistols. Unfortunately, a P38 is more concealable and easier to carry than a 4" Luger, so they screwed that up. They will always mess up when trying to apply a barrel length restriction, because revolvers & Lugers do not count the chamber in the barrel measurement, but 99% of auto-loaders do have a one-piece barrel/chamber .
