new to me Luger-it needs help!!

Bill just gave you good advice in the short form..

What caliber is this in? Should be 9MM. See if a yellow pencil will drop into the barrel..If so..9MM.
There is a number M 13324 electropenciled on the front strap. Any ideas what this means? Yes, It means some bonehead ruined a good magazine.

Should a correct magazine for this pistol be blued or aluminum? The correct magazine is a sheet steel wood bottom. You should look for a MecGar if you want to shoot it.

The person I got it from says "it came from the war". Technicaly he's right but when it got here some GI took it to the chrome bumper shop and it went for a swim.

It probably could use a new set of Wolf springs a good cleaning and then enjoy shooting it.

Thanks, y'all. IF value is that far gone, think anyone would have a problem w/ putting this in an electrolysis tank to remove the rust and chrome plate, then finishing the metal with something better so I can have a good shooter rather than a POS?
