Edward,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Do you or anyone else know a good Luger smith on the East Coast? (I live in Northern Virginia near DC)
I forgot to mention that the front sight keeps falling off, and I have yet to find mild glue that resists solvent; I hesitate to use epoxy.
My dad was a pilot who flew B-26 bomber missions over Germany from France.
The 1920, P-08 Luger has no particular lore (although he did pull his chrome-plated 1911A1 on a farmer who approached him with a pitch fork after a crash landing).
He probably traded a carton of American cigarettes for the Luger after the Liberation during a short stint in Germany. (He also came back with a P-38, which I shoot regularly at the NRA Headquarters range, too)
The Luger has been an extremely accurate range gun--I never bothered to buy a modern 9mm pistol (though I may have to now <ha>).
