Thank you. The lever that releases the side plate, the same lever that raises a stop that fits into the bottom of the barrel limits the barrel's travel on recoil against the spring?
This is theside plate locking lever. This lever does not limit the barrel's travel on recoil..there is a lug on the underside of the top cannon that performs this function.

How far should you be able to pull up the toggles? The spring is rather strong, as you know. Should the toggles stay in place upright if you pull back far enough?
The toggle will only stay upright if the holdopen spring is present. This spring will ONLY activate if the magazine is in the weapon and the weapon is empty. Insert an empty magazine in the pistol and pull back on the toggle forcefully. It should stay open. To release the toggle, drop the magazine a couple of inches and this will release the upward pressure on the holdopen spring, letting it drop out of the way of the notch in the bolt allowing the toggle to release when pulled slightly rearward, once it releases you can let go and the bolt will slam into battery.

Mr. Burney, you can tell I am a gun novice. My Dad passed away last year and I am just trying to preserve his stuff and memory best I can.
Sorry to hear about your Father..Your doing the right thing. Keep learning, that's what the Forums are for. There are many manuals for the Luger pistol.
Go to Ebay, look for luger and you will likely see a manual or two. Below a link to a cheap user manual
