New to the board and a Luger

On Mauser receiver frames, the rear side of the "ears" are not flat. It's got a slightly rounded bump.

This Luger is a mix of parts from different eras. That makes it a "shooter" Luger.

If they won't warrant it works well, you could end up with some repair costs if everything isn't right.

If it's import marked, it could have been reworked by the GDR. There are several characteristics that can be recognized if this was done.

So.... cavaet emptor. $550 is a good price for a shooter if it works properly.
