I would not call it a shooter since it is original finish (albeit poor condition) along with matching numbers on the gun, but I would call it shootable. It retains some collector value but would not be overly sought after. Shooting it occasionally would probably be fine, and breaking a part won’t substantially hurt the value, more so would hurt collectibility. I have a few similar condition commercial Lugers which I use to mess around with, since I don’t worry about mucking up the finish at all on them. Other collectors may differ in opinion.
