My First Luger-Pattern Pistol - Interarms Mauser

I just bought the cousin to this piece, Sr no, 11 013728. Interesting the differences between it and the pre-1945 lugers.

The takedown lever has a little wedge or ramp on the frame to ensure a tight fit. The trigger lever hinge pin is totally different. It runs the whole length of the side plate. The is a small hole inside that plate for an extended trigger hinge pin. I got the P.08 frame. The sear spring button has a beveled rim. The upper trigger bar pad is polished. The frame under the grips has a small pin that extends into the grips, making them more difficult to remove. The magazines have a round coil spring. The back of the sear bar is cut differently with a downward angle to it. The ejector is mounted a bit differently, no slot in the frame for removal, and the tooth that extends into the chamber is bigger.

I discovered a broken firing pin, but the seller has promised a new one.

This is what I've noted so far. All-in-all a good piece, some improvements, but not up the the workmanship of the older lugers.
