Should I shoot this Luger?
Hello Experts,
This is a duplicate of a post on the WW2 forum. I could not figure out how to move it here. Probably a more appropriate place for this question.
I inherited a couple German pistols that were originally picked up by a family member in Europe during WW2. I would like to shoot the Luger pictured, but am unsure if that is wise. I would hate to damage it or significantly reduce its value. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
As far as I can tell, it was made by Simpson & Co. and was pre-WW2 manufacture. All the parts have matching serial numbers...almost. The clip does not match and the firing pin is stamped "73", I'm wondering if that was a manufacturer mistake since the other parts are stamped "37".
Your comments are appreciated in advance! Thank you
