An unconventional way

Howdy folks!

I´m new to this forum but I already just love it! Tons of good information and stories

So here we go:

I was at the range enjoying my Luger. At a point I noticed that the trigger became very hard to activate and finally the gun did not fired. I unloaded the gun and field stripped it.

The firing pin was broken! NOOOO ! With all parts having matching numbers this was a catastrophe...

I went home angry at myself because ruining a nice gun. Well at home my kids were watching one of Mr, Beans comedy movies and I felt that well why not enjoy them...

One part in the movie Mr Bean holds a tombola ticket numbered 616 but the winning number is 919. So he gets disapointed untill he realize that he was holding the ticket upside down (!). An excellent movie which I recommend.

So I was thinking if I could be so lucky as him regarding my serial number for my broken firing pin. So only for the sake I looked at my guns serial number ang guess what? It is 8968

So either 68 or 98 will work. Emailed a company regarding this and they had a pin with matching number for sale

I´m amazed in how incredible things sometimes are in life.

Best regards,
Marius
