Be very cautious my mew friend.
My only comment about the Luger pistol you have acquired is a gentle caution that if the gun is still in it's orginal 9mm parabellum chambering, and has not been converted to 9x21 caliber then you may be in technical violation of Italian law.
Perhaps our dear friend Sergio (luger.parabellum) could comment here and either verify what I have told you, or show me the error of my thinking.

HI John, thank you for the answer, in the picture you can see the stamp of the Italian BANCO NAZIONALE di PROVA (BNP) which approved the pistol for the Italian civil market in 7.65 Parabellum caliber just because of the laws that forbade 9Luger.
So unfortunately the caliber is no longer original but is the only one allowed together with 9x21
