Ed, I think I may have lucked out--$860, shipped. Restored Lugers seem to do OK on the market, and providing that this one does not need much other than what's been mentioned, there seems to be room for restoring the stock lug and lanyard loop. But, for now, it's to shoot and enjoy as is.

1917 Navy #227 has been kicking around on the market for a while.

Interesting, Norm... I don't recall any of its previous appearances, but my time actually playing the game is limited to the last several years. Do you have any recollection of previous sellers/asking prices/circumstances that pertain to it? I've found it at shooter price and am committed to it. It is what it is and even in its sorta butchered, non-collectable status< i expect to enjoy it. If the mag that accompanies it is real, I could offset the already relatively low price a little more by selling. But prob. not.
