Doug; Thanks for the tip on posting pics. I will not have the side plate built up and reshaped, probably will pick up another one some day if I see a good one. This Luger appears to have not been fired much, but the barrel is just fair. I think it was stored without cleaning after firing corrosive ammo, and the subsequent corrosion was cleaned out years later, leaving some pitting in the grooves. It'll shoot okay, though. I'm working on the grips now - both of them had some cracks. I'll post some pics when I get done with it. The only part on it not matching is the takedown lever - it has the matching number on it, but also has another number which I think is the original.
