Firing pin cracked

I was not sure where to post this, but I figured it would fit here.

I bought a Luger to shoot. I took it completely apart to make sure it was OK to shoot, and to clean it (like most guns I buy, it was filthy inside). Anyway I got the firing pin out and cleaned all the gunk off and boy was I glad I did. Take a look at what I found - I'm glad I didn't shoot it like that!

So now I have to get a new firing pin, but I'll keep the cracked one because it is a numbers matching gun. Just the finish is worn to about 80%.
