Zeke,
You lucked out getting a very nice Luger for only $600, even considering the mismatch locking bolt. The good news is that it is too nice to restore. The bad news is that you will need to spend nearly that much to get a rough one to restore (unless you get lucky again - a $300 Luger is pretty much history). Anyway, congratulations, you did very well.
P.S. I think the marking on the right side of the trigger that Bob is seeing is just built up crud or light rust.
