Heydrich,
Yes, the Luger is like a Chinese puzzle but it's not difficult to learn. You are wise to be cautious at first and I would not recommend complete disassembly, however, the firing pin assembly is easy and you can skip the extractor and ejector for now if the gun is clean inside. For the firing pin assembly: Grab the toggle assembly by the bolt, push the forward toggle link up with your thumb so you can see the back of the bolt, put a slotted screwdriver in the slot at the back of the bolt (the firing pin guide), push in slightly and turn it 1/4 turn counter clockwise. Release slowly and the assembly will come out. The firing pin spring is not very strong so it won't get away from you.
Happy shooting. KFS
