While it's unlikely that one magazine of cartridges will break a numbered part, it's not guaranteed. If I had $4,000 invested, I WOULDN'T. I have all matching Lugers that are not as nice as yours and I don't shoot them.
If you can afford to, buy a second Luger with the express purpose of shooting it. I have several that I shoot and I've just sent a receiver and barrel off to have them mated. When they return, I'll have a frame from which I can shoot both 30 caliber and 9mm by swapping the uppers. My shooters are Lugers that have little collector value but are great to fire.
