Oops.... bad chouce of words

I mean the rear of the receiver where the rear toggle pin goes through- the end was completely broken off

I would be nervous about breaking a numbered part and destroying a collectible gun.
Yes and the $ loss would not thrill me either. Yes you would have a shooter with a replacement part, but breaking the "all original" status would be a shame. Once it's gone, it's gone.

SO.... I'm waiting for my shooter to come through , a matching but refinished 1918 DWM... only 5 months to go. My first Luger (P08 1917 DWM) is a collectible. Took a while to finally decide not to shoot it. Still tempting sometimes, to be honest
