Hello Rodrigo and welcome to the forum.

As already mentioned, you have a mostly matching Mauser manufactured Russian Capture Luger made in 1941.

The metallurgy of these later Lugers is excellent, and this should make a very good shooter if it is in good mechanical condition. And... they are fun to shoot!

Use a standard velocity load 9MM Parabellum cartridge. Try things in the middle of the powder range initially. Stick to FMJ Ball or Truncated Cone Lead bullets.

And yes - trust the gun and not the story.

Depending on the cause, there are a few options for tightening up grips. Start by using some small "O" rings on the screws. Progress to filling with slow setting epoxy and then forming (reshaping) broken areas as needed.

If they are original grips, try to find some of the post war original Russian or East German plastic grips.

Marc
