I agree with Norme. Acquire some good quality parts to complete the Luger to shooting status, refinish the parts, if that is what you want to do(I would), and have a good shooter to take to the range and enjoy. You will never lose money on this Luger, as you will have so little in it when it is done......unless you spent a bunch on getting it refinished. I would do the refinish myself and save the $$$.
