Welcome to the Forum

It sounds like you know how to take good care of a Luger. That's pretty much what I do, although I don't use the Ballistol on the internal parts (I think it's beeswax).

The German's used a petroleum grease (vaseline) on the rails - I use gun grease.

I'm not surprised you chose to shoot it, either, but if has matching parts, it's probably a collectable Luger, so don't risk breaking old parts.

The photos are too dark to make out very much, but it looks good, from what I can see. It should be very dark and the bakelite grips were proper and probably original.

I think you have a very nice Luger.
