HistoryBuffGuy,
Could you take a photo of the marking on the left side of the extractor to let us know if it is Marked "charge" or not...?
Since you only paid $ 400.00 for this wonderful pistol, you might want to keep it for the next 10-15 years and then sell it as an even better investment...This might be the nicest luger you will ever hold in your hands, let alone own...just my $ 0.02...
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
