Toggle won't stay open?? - Page 2

You are indeed missing your holdopen. This is a part that our own Tom Heller, (Luger Doc) can supply you. Perhaps even with a matching number.

Your gun looks like it has the original finish. Norm made an excellent case for an original, unmessed with sideplate.

On the minus side, you still have a non original front sight, non original grips, non numbered extractor and a missing hold-open and spring.

On the plus side, it appears to be an original finish gun, the front sight is easely replaced as is the hold-open, (albeit perhaps mismatched). The extractor should match as well. Your magazine is a desirable FXO worth perhaps $150 plus.
You never mention if the balance of the gun, (safety lever, sear block, sear, firing pin, all toggle sections, etc) match the gun. Is there any letter sufix under the serial number on the front of the frame above the trigger guard?
In short, several issues balanced against an original finish and largely matching gun.
If I were making the decision, I would want to get into this gun for about $650 to $700

So it is missing the numbered hold-open, the front sight blade is a replacement and the grips are suspect. Be careful because while a nice Luger it is no real bargain even at $800.

It has the letter D under the barrell. The number 58 is on all the parts I can see. I couldn't find anything on the trigger when taken out. As for some of the other parts, like the firing pin, I am not versed enough to take it all the way down. I f I can get it at 650.00 would I be ok you think?

What is the extractor???

Extractor is the funny hook thing on top that reaches over the front of the bolt to pull the case from the chamber.
Seems like a reasonable deal at $650 as long as it is what you want, a shooter. If your heart is set on a collectable, then pass on it and prepare to spend 2x that amount.

Thanks Curl,
I will shoot this one, and now I want a 100% original one.
