You are not likely to break a numbered piece on a 1938 Mauser.
If you do- chalk it up to bad luck , replace the part and you have a shooter.

It doesn't make much sense to buy a $1500 pistol to not shoot, if that is what you want to do with it. A shooter can easily cost $1000, so you could think of it as a $1000 insurance policy on a $1500 pistol- which doesn't sound like sound economics.

Or shoot your $1500 , and in the small chance you break something, consider it a $500 deductable policy!

There are some scarce, rare, or expensive lugers that maybe should not be fired- but this is not one of them.

JMHO.
