G-Date: How did I do?

Hello, Gents. Wondering if I could get your opinion on this Luger. It is an f-block G-date and appears to be all matching. I didn't get a good picture of it, but the safety lever is numbered to match as well. Finish appears to be original and correct rust bluing. The internal surfaces are in the white and show no evidence of dip bluing. Straw is mostly gone on high-use areas of the trigger, but some other parts have a decent amount of straw left.

The crack visible on the inside of one of the grips does not extend thru to the exterior side of the grip. Bore is excellent, no pitting, great rifling. I am mostly a rifle collector and this is my first Luger, so please let me know - honestly - if this is a legit piece. I might've overpaid a little bit for it, but so long as it is legitimate, I don't mind.

The pistol has a lot of finger prints and such on it in the photos, but I took them before I took it apart and oiled it. Don't worry, she's well cared-for here.
