Luger not shot in 25 years...is it safe?

well, whether 4 yrs, 25 yrs or 80 years, same issues could be wrong. could be weak already - you never know

is it s collectable piece that you will regret shooting and when you crack the grips you'll say, there goes $200

history of it?

if its a so-so piece and you want to shoot some rounds - NO +P - easy full metal jacket - think about visiting a gunsmith - they can look it over for you - clean it up and leave some oil on the toggle, etc and then take it to the range
