Wow, Thanks for all the great advice.
It is a repo trigger lever. I got it from you Lugerdoc if your "Hellerarms". I traced the original profile on a piece of paper and then proceeded to bend the lever so it would fit better inside the trigger plate cavity.It seems like a very small margin of engagement for operation of the trigger as I bent it back and forth very small amounts and it would not operate. Ended up close to the original profile.
The gun dry fires perfectly.I can pull the toggle back a small amount,maybe 1/2 inch and you can hear the "click",release the toggle and pull the trigger and the firing pin releases,"click".I don't think I fixed anything though as this is how it functioned before.
I did as you said Policeluger. The spring pushes the lever back correctly.I lubed that area also.
I'm interested in the mainsprings. On the Wolff website they specify the springs are for the "new" lugers. Brownells part # is the same. Are these parts interchangeable?
I'm going back to the range on Monday and I'll check the bolt and position Roadkill. Thanks Guys.
Edward, I don't know too much other than my father-in-law was in the Army infantry and took it off a dead German soldier near Bodin at the end of the war. The holster has what looks like bullet holes in it. I'll ask my mother-in-law and his brother to see if I can get more info.
