The luger in question is a DWM 1900 American Eagle in decent condition. Ad says it is fine mechanically. So, safe to shoot with broken toggle lock? Can it be repaired?

In this case, it's also a question of what part of the toggle lock is broken. If the small projection on the top of the frame rail is damaged that would be worst case. It can be removed, but it's silver soldered in and the heating to get it out would damage the finish. If its simply a case of the latch in the toggle being broken or missing it become a quest to find a replacement part. But actually replacing it is quick and easy - no tools required.
