I'll walk you through the process by which I assess a Luger. This will take several posts as the process is a little complicated to explain.

Please keep in mind what follows is just my own personal preference in assessing a Luger. It's not Holy Writ and I don't claim it has any special virtue - it is just a process I have found works for me.
