Default Is this a keeper?

Finally got the Luger I snagged for $1000 today. It's a '42' 1940, took it apart and all numbers match, grips aren't numbered but have WaA 655 (i think those were the numbers) which matches whats on the receiver. Part of the bluing on the right side of the receiver is worn off in a weird way near the proof marks. Took it to the range tonight and it would jam every 2-5 shots, seems like it had no problem ejecting the spent casings, but the new bullet would either be facing up funny or halfway into the chamber and i'd have to eject it. Was using Walmart's Winchester white box .115g FMJ. Toggle likes to stick up if you pull it back slightly, and then requires a hefty pull from there to open it up. Not sure if that's normal or not. Other than that, it seems like a nice piece. Here's some pics (and a vid) let me know how I did for $1000, and if it's a keeper, i've got 3 days! Thanks.
