The last photo shows the rear of the toggle train where it slams back against the metal surface just below. Seems to be more scored than others I have seen. Does this mean the toggle train has recoiled with more than the intended force? I do not plan on firing this gun... so no worries, I'm trying to learn what is OK and what is not.

Thanks,
It's about normal for a fired Luger. And in 1917 it was not made for parades nor collecting.
