Welcome to the forum.

It may be a good move to pass along your Mitchell Luger and buy an original. I've not been favorably impressed by the Mitchell Lugers I've examined. The fit hasn't been that great.

If your purpose is to shoot an original Luger, then I suggest looking for a shooter.

If collecting is the idea, then I suggest not shooting an all original, matching Luger. One in collectible condition and all matching will lose it's value if a numbered part breaks.

Before jumping into deep waters, learn all you can here and also buy reference books... generally, the newer books have the best and most accurate information. Also beware that there are many fakes out there so being educated BEFORE you invest is a wise move.
