+1 on the congratulations.
This is a perfect first Luger/shooter you should enjoy owning, to learn the nuances of the "Luger/Borschardt System."
Since its value won't be diminished by fiddling with it cosmetically, I recommend re-strawing the proper small parts yourself. All you need is a toaster oven and a small container of sand in which to immerse the parts so they will evenly take on the proper temp. to achieve the right color. A Luger with strawed parts is strikingly handsome!
