To everyone who has taken the time to write me a response or two, Thank You very much! I still haven't gotten "to the bottom of it," in finding definitive answers to my questions, but the suggestions given by forum members should be of assistance when I get to break down the pistol again.
My initial dilemma was this: the fellow who wants to sell the Luger asked $900.00 for it and as that's a good chunk of change for a working man like me I wanted to be able to justify spending that much (because he will not come down on the price).
At this point in time, I'm still not certain that the full asking price is justified. However, now my wife has become interested in this too, and she agrees, with Frank, that I should pay my money and take my chances. It wouldn't be the first thing we ever spent too much money on! If it turns out that it is actually a collector's piece, great....if not, then we'll both enjoy it out at the range.
I'll be back again once I have answers, or think I do, to the questions that have been raised.
