1938 S/42 Luger

Art,

Thanks for your time and serious reply, I've learned alot in a the past few days about lugers and this forum certainly contributed the most- -thanks again. I understand the subjective nature of grading on a 100pt scale. Personally, if I grade a gun 99% to "mint" I will not shoot it at all. I may occasionally pop a few caps through a lesser gun though. The luger in question is one that I would not feel bad about test firing, but is certainly very nice with only a hint of blue wear only in a few high edge areas--all edges remain sharp. In certain light the front gripstrap shows just a hint of browning. The grips are medium dark brown, sharp and minty feeling with no cracks- -screws are perfect. The clip is not matching to the gun and shows minor use- -still about 95% blueing remains. The aluminum end plug is excellent, has waffenampt but the letter suffix does not match the pistol nor does sn#. Everything is tight/precise/quality--fit and finish about this luger. The bolt shows a primer mark, the feeding ramp is not worn, barrel is bright & minty(no frosting,etc). I think this gun might have been carried a little, and shot some, just not much. Too bad the rear toggle axle is not matching though?, everything else does match with the exception of the clip which was stated above. I appreciate everyones' assistance, FTroop.
