When you go out onto the range with all those folks with their fancy Kimbers and Sig Sauers with high-capacity mags and fancy laser sights, you will still find that it will be your Luger that everyone wants to have a chance to shoot. Although I'm no expert, I would say you got a real good deal--a gun not only less than most of the recent Russian imports also with the reputation of Shattuck saying that it is in good mechanical condition. The only frustrating thing with a gun as you have described is wondering what it witnessed in its checkered past and what path it followed from the Mauser factory 65 years ago to end up eventually in your hands.


Also, get a C&R license. The thrill of sighting the UPS truck pulling in front of your house with a new acquisition is awe-inspiring.
