Finishes on Lugers

Welcome to the forum. The plating should not affect the performance of the luger. Might be a good idea to have it looked over by a good gunsmith just in case.Personally I wouldn't hesitate to fire it now.
The luger is not collectible and should make a good shooter. Walmart sells good inexpensive 9mm ammo.
Can't tell much from the picture but do all the numbers match? Barrel, frame and receiver should have full serial numbers rest of the parts the last 2 digits. Also what is on the top of the front toggle and receiver. Bill
