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

Well, I guess you are controlling an explosion with a bit of metal made about 100 years ago, so anything is possible.
However with the nod of approval from a competant gunsmith, the chances are remote. Statistically, it is much more likely that a part will break.
Maybe this is a good one to clean, lightly oil, and admire at home, and then take a newer gun to the shooting range?
