Comments on my first luger.

[Len]

Can anyone tell me a little about this gun. I picked up this shooter and would appreciate any feedback from forum members. I believe its been reblued. Its marked DWM 1918 serial numbers I can see match...not sure about the trigger, it seems newer. Also it has been rebarreled to .30. What are your thought on rebarreling to 9mm. .30 caliber are hard to get and costly. I would also like to know if anyone can explain the mark on the left side of the toggle...very faint

and the markings on the righ side of the breech seam simlar to those shown on Proof 2 (#15)
