Is this worth trying to restore?

I'll send you a shooter post WW1 luger if you want it in trade.

I am not against making these old guns into shooters, but feel that the 1900 is more fragile than a 1908 model.

There are some collectors / folks who want every gun they have capable of shooting, I don't mind that; but don't do it myself (although when younger I believed that every gun I owned should be shootable).

I have two 1900 barrels sitting in my parts, had them for sale on the forum, but both are sewer pipes for barrels (very little rifeling and pitting). Externally they look decent.
