Nice looking luger. I would tap lightly on the toggle pin with a correct size piece of dowling. The pin should come out the left side as you are behind the gun. It should come out fairly easily. If not soak it again and tap lightly on it. Then the dowl. Bill

Bill,

Thanks for the reply! My thoughts, exactly.

I tried a piece of 1/4" hardwood dowel, but no joy. Guess I'll just have to just suck it up, be patient, and let it soak.

I'm also a native Montanan out of the Bitterroot. Spent some time in the Navy, then lived in the HiLine area for 30 years or so.

Don't miss it quite as much anymore. Not over three or four times a day.
