If you do decide on restoration, "you are a better man than I am, Gunga Din"

I would have started running LONG before it got that bad!!..It really amazes me at what folks will pay for these types of Lugers/luger parts. Some of them really bring way more than I would have guessed....unless there is a shill buyer.

What's the likelihood of this sale going bad? For someone purchasing in the US? I mean really it is a complete firearm. At least it doesn't look to be loaded. I could just imagine some agent X-raying packages and seeing this and next thing you know the buyer is getting a visit from the DOJ and a SWAT team. Or is my tinfoil hat on to tight?

Looks like it has petrified socks stuck to it in some places. I guess everyone that stores their guns in old sweatsocks aren't doing themselves any favors!
