Chrome\Nickel 1912 Erfurt, First Luger.

[azrael_cervale]

I have been wanting a Luger for a number of years now, and on the rare occasion I found one it was out of my price range, but a few days ago one was posted on a local gun board so I jumped on it. That probably wasn't the most rational decision in hindsight. I want a Luger as a shooter, but i'd also like it to look nice. This one has some issues with the chrome/Nickel (not sure which), and the rifling in the barrel is pretty worn and pitted. I paid $450 for it and that may have been too much, but I'm curious what the rest of you think, and whether or not it's worth saving and/or restoring or should I just cut my losses and pass it on to someone else that may enjoy it as is.

All the numbers match except for the Mag (1965) and Right grip (33). It locks up fairly well though it may need a new spring, and the hold open works fine. The safety lever is very loose though, and the grips are a tad as well. Also there seems to be a small pin missing below the takedown lever, is it possible to find a replacement for that?
