ithacaartist, I want to thank you for your perspective. based on the comments so far I was hesitant to admit that I was able to obtain this piece for $2oo, and jumped at the chance. I am well aware that this particular example is far so far from collectable/desirable to most that is would have been passed over by many, if not most, of the members of this forum, but this is my first foray into world of Luger-ownership and after close inspection and with some trepidation, I plunked down my money (actually it was a trade) and bought this piece as a stepping stone.
I wasn't looking for a display piece, a collector, for bragging rights, or even for a correct firearm. All i wanted in my first Luger was a shooter. As it has been suggested, I already talked to my Gunsmith about having it inspected, and I will also try to post some pictures of this gun field stripped.
To the rest of you, thanks for the input and honesty.
