New Member with First Luger P08

Hi everyone,

This is my first P08 Luger. Wanted to share some photos and ask for thoughts on it. I paid 799.00 for the gun and it was listed as not matching. So far I have determined the only thing that does not match is the side plate. I scored a side plate from a WWI era DWM on eBay with the same 2 digit code last week and will be getting that fitted to it. I was looking for thoughts on shooting this? I will replace the firing pin and put on repro grips first and set the original parts aside. Was curious on what you all though about the bore? These pics aren't great but they show decent details. The magazine is imperial proofed but does not match the gun. The grip panels are unmarked but appear to be original to the gun. All of the springs are corrosion free as well.

Thanks all for any input!
