Default Sounds like you got your money's worth to me...

If you can see rifling in the barrel and a 9MM won't chamber it is likely to be .30 Cal Luger as you suspected. If you can't see rifling the barrel may have been "neutralized" by welding or soldering a piece of metal tubing so be careful. Inspect the chamber when the pistol is disassembled with a strong light. If you are sure the barrel is not "blocked" then it should be safe to fire... with .30 Cal Luger ammo.


The magazine sounds like a reproduction since it is unmarked.


All-in-all, a nice catch for you.


Here is a photo of a really nice 1920 commercial Luger...
