Could you suggest few sources for Luger parts?
Hrbla:
DO NOT MODIFY YOUR PISTOL TO ADD A HOLD-OPEN!!!! If you manage to restore it by searching and finding a proper toggle train, adding the hold-open will destroy it's value. Hold opens were added at the Erfurt Rifle Factory and a tiny acceptance stamp was affixed to denote this modification. The value of a pistol with this modification added properly at Erfurt is not affected. If you try to do it, you will turn it into a shooter.
If it were mine, I'd buy Tom's front link and keep looking for the other parts to complete the restoration. Is the breech block with extractor a mismatch also (the extractor should also be numbered)?
